Consecutive Numbers

CodeChefOpen on judge ↗

Given an array A of N numbers, find out the minimum number of elements to be changed to ensure that the new array becomes a consecutive sequence of numbers. For example, given A = {2, 3, 6, 7, 8} where N = 5, it is obvious that we can change the first two elements in A to get the new array A' = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. (Note: A consecutive sequence of numbers is where the ith number is greater than the (
