0969. Pancake Sorting
https://leetcode.com/problems/pancake-sorting
Description
Given an array of integers arr, sort the array by performing a series of pancake flips.
In one pancake flip we do the following steps:
Choose an integer
kwhere1 <= k <= arr.length.Reverse the sub-array
arr[0...k-1](0-indexed).
For example, if arr = [3,2,1,4] and we performed a pancake flip choosing k = 3, we reverse the sub-array [3,2,1], so arr = [1,2,3,4] after the pancake flip at k = 3.
Return an array of the k-values corresponding to a sequence of pancake flips that sort arr. Any valid answer that sorts the array within 10 * arr.length flips will be judged as correct.
Example 1:
**Input:** arr = [3,2,4,1]
**Output:** [4,2,4,3]
**Explanation:**
We perform 4 pancake flips, with k values 4, 2, 4, and 3.
Starting state: arr = [3, 2, 4, 1]
After 1st flip (k = 4): arr = [1, 4, 2, 3]
After 2nd flip (k = 2): arr = [4, 1, 2, 3]
After 3rd flip (k = 4): arr = [3, 2, 1, 4]
After 4th flip (k = 3): arr = [1, 2, 3, 4], which is sorted.Example 2:
**Input:** arr = [1,2,3]
**Output:** []
**Explanation:** The input is already sorted, so there is no need to flip anything.
Note that other answers, such as [3, 3], would also be accepted.Constraints:
1 <= arr.length <= 1001 <= arr[i] <= arr.lengthAll integers in
arrare unique (i.e.arris a permutation of the integers from1toarr.length).
