Problem
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums
.
Swaps of adjacent elements are able to be performed on nums
.
A valid array meets the following conditions:
- The largest element (any of the largest elements if there are multiple) is at the rightmost position in the array.
- The smallest element (any of the smallest elements if there are multiple) is at the leftmost position in the array.
Return the minimum swaps required to make nums
a valid array.

Example 1:
Input: nums = [3,4,5,5,3,1] Output: 6 Explanation: Perform the following swaps: - Swap 1: Swap the 3rd and 4th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,3,5,1]. - Swap 2: Swap the 4th and 5th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,3,1,5]. - Swap 3: Swap the 3rd and 4th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,1,3,5]. - Swap 4: Swap the 2nd and 3rd elements, nums is then [3,4,1,5,3,5]. - Swap 5: Swap the 1st and 2nd elements, nums is then [3,1,4,5,3,5]. - Swap 6: Swap the 0th and 1st elements, nums is then [1,3,4,5,3,5]. It can be shown that 6 swaps is the minimum swaps required to make a valid array.Example 2:
Input: nums = [9] Output: 0 Explanation: The array is already valid, so we return 0.

Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 105
1 <= nums[i] <= 105
