 题意:n个人顺时针围成一个圈;

   欲将其按逆时针围成圈;

   每次只能移动一对相邻的人;

   问至少需要移动多少次;

 

题解:由于这是一个环;

   将其折中取半来移动;

   最后便能使步骤最少;

17         cin>>n;
18         int x=n/2;
19         for(int i=1;i<=x;i++)
20         {
21             ans+=x-i;

23         for(int i=x+1;i<=n;i++)
24         {
25             ans+=n-i;
