idek where they stole the problems from but like wtf are those problems!!!
Just read this (no hint guys, chill):

Whenever Chef asks his Girlfriend to hang out, she's busy doing her work. Chef wants to help her finish it faster, but he's in over his head! Can you help Chef understand his Girlfriend's work so she can hang out with him?

Consider an array of n distinct integers, array=[a[0]......a[n−1]]. Chef can swap any two elements of the array any number of times given 0<i<n among is minimal.

Return the minimum number of swaps needed to make the array beautiful.

They haven’t even mentioned what a beautiful array is?! Plus, no announcement / comment/ explanation

Apparently sorted arrays are called beautiful…The setter added a comment in the comment section.
