A is an unordered pair i , j ( i ≠ j ) such that
Memory – The array love[1…N] is stored: .
If i, j is not mutual, at least one of the equalities love[i]=j or love[j]=i is false. Consider the iteration where i is the smaller index of the two. If love[i] ≠ j → the algorithm’s first condition ( j = love[i] ) fails. If love[i] = j but love[j] ≠ i → the second condition fails. Thus the counter is never increased for this unordered pair. ∎ Theorem After processing a test case, mutualPairs equals the total number of mutual‑love pairs in the group.
import sys
long long ans = 0; // up to N/2 fits in int, but long long is safe for (int i = 1; i <= N; ++i) int j = love[i]; if (i < j && love[j] == i) ++ans; // count each 2‑cycle once cout << ans << '\n'; return 0;
int main() ios::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(nullptr); int T; if (!(cin >> T)) return 0; while (T--) int N; cin >> N; vector<int> love(N + 1); // 1‑based for (int i = 1; i <= N; ++i) cin >> love[i];
love[i] = j and love[j] = i . Your task is to count how many mutual‑love pairs exist in the given group.
