Thought for 2m 31s

To solve the problem efficiently, we need to determine how reversing a segment of cows in the lineup affects the number of cows that match the veterinarian's desired species.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Initial Setup:

   • We have N cows, each with a species denoted by integers in the array a.
   • The veterinarian wants cow i to be of species b[i].
   • We need to find the number of operations (l, r) such that reversing the segment from position l to r results in exactly c cows matching the desired species for each c from 0 to N.

2. Understanding the Problem:

   • When you reverse a segment [l, r], the species of the cows outside this segment remain unchanged.
   • The cows within the segment [l, r] will be reversed, and we need to check how many cows now match the desired species after this reversal.
   • The number of matching cows after the reversal can be computed by considering how many matches were lost or gained in the segment [l, r].

3. Efficient Calculation:

   • Calculate the total number of matches initially (before any reversal).
   • For each possible segment [l, r], compute the number of matches within this segment before and after the reversal.
   • The difference between the new matches and the original matches in the segment will help determine the total number of matches after the reversal.
   • Use prefix sums to efficiently compute the number of matches in any segment [l, r].

4. Algorithm Implementation:

   • Prefix Matches: Compute a prefix sum array prefix_matches where prefix_matches[i] represents the number of matches from the start up to position i.
   • Counting Reversals: For each possible sum k = l + r, compute how many reversals (l, r) result in exactly c matches by iterating through all possible l and r pairs.
   • Efficient Counting: Use a temporary prefix array to store intermediate results and avoid redundant calculations.

5. Final Output:

   • After processing all possible segments [l, r], output the counts of operations that result in exactly c matches for each c from 0 to N.
