Description
One measure of ``unsortedness'' in a sequence is the number of pairs of entries that are out of order with respect to each other. For instance, in the letter sequence ``DAABEC'', this measure is 5, since D is greater than four letters to its right and E is greater than one letter to its right. This measure is called the number of inversions in the sequence. The sequence ``AACEDGG'' has only one inversion (E and D)--it is nearly sorted--while the sequence ``ZWQM'' has 6 inversions (it is as unsorted as can be--exactly the reverse of sorted).
