An inversion in a permutation is a pair of numbers such that the larger number appears to the left of the smaller one in the permutation. The inversion number of a permutation is the total number of inversions.

How many inversions does the permutation have?
The number of inversions in a permutation is equal to that of its inverse permutation (Skiena 1990, p. 29; Knuth 1998). If, from any permutation, another is formed by interchanging two elements, then the difference between the number of inversions in the two is always an odd number.
What is an inversion sequence?
In computer science and discrete mathematics, an inversion in a sequence is a pair of elements that are out of their natural order.
What is inversion algorithm?
Inversion Count for an array indicates – how far (or close) the array is from being sorted. If the array is already sorted, then the inversion count is 0, but if the array is sorted in the reverse order, the inversion count is the maximum.
