Multiple test cases are given. T // number of test cases (1 ≤ T ≤ 20) N // number of people (1 ≤ N ≤ 10^5) love[1] love[2] … love[N] // N integers, 1 ≤ love[i] ≤ N The sum of N over all test cases does not exceed 10^6 . Output For each test case output a single line containing the number of mutual‑love pairs. Sample Input 412. Sislovesme
A is an unordered pair i , j ( i ≠ j ) such that love[1 … N] // 1‑based indexing where love[i]
From Lemma 1 every increment corresponds to a genuine mutual‑love pair. From Lemma 2 every genuine pair contributes exactly one increment. From Lemma 3 no non‑mutual pair contributes any increment. Therefore the total number of increments equals precisely the number of mutual‑love pairs. ∎ 5️⃣ Complexity analysis Time – The loop visits each of the N people once, performing O(1) work per iteration: O(N) per test case. Output For each test case output a single
long long ans = 0; // up to N/2 fits in int, but long long is safe for (int i = 1; i <= N; ++i) int j = love[i]; if (i < j && love[j] == i) ++ans; // count each 2‑cycle once cout << ans << '\n'; return 0;
Because a, b is a mutual‑love pair, we have love[a] = b and love[b] = a . Assume without loss of generality that a < b .
