DIFFICULTY:

Simple

PREREQUISITES:

None

PROBLEM:

Given N, construct a permutation P of the integers \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, N\} such that i does not divide P_i for each 2 \leq i \leq N.

EXPLANATION:

One possible solution is to simply take the identity permutation P which has P_i = i for every i, and then rotate it right by one step.
This gives the permutation P = [N, 1, 2, 3, \ldots, N-1], which is a valid answer for every N.

Why?

For every 2 \leq i \leq N, we have P_i = i-1.
i does not divide i-1 for any integer i \geq 2 so this permutation is valid.

TIME COMPLEXITY:

\mathcal{O}(N) per test case.

for _ in range(int(input())):

i put odd integers at even place and even integers at odd place exception table of 6

why is this code not working I believe the logic is correct

`# cook your dish here
n= int(input())
while n:
    t = int(input())
    c= [t]+ list(range(1,t))
    print(c)
    n-=1`
