[Swift Weekly Contest 118]LeetCode969.煎饼排序 | Pancake Sorting

Given an array A, we can perform a pancake flip: We choose some positive integer k <= A.length, then reverse the order of the first k elements of A.  We want to perform zero or more pancake flips (doing them one after another in succession) to sort the array A.

Return the k-values corresponding to a sequence of pancake flips that sort A.  Any valid answer that sorts the array within 10 * A.length flips will be judged as correct.

Example 1:

Input: [3,2,4,1]
Output: [4,2,4,3]
Explanation: 
We perform 4 pancake flips, with k values 4, 2, 4, and 3.
Starting state: A = [3, 2, 4, 1]
After 1st flip (k=4): A = [1, 4, 2, 3]
After 2nd flip (k=2): A = [4, 1, 2, 3]
After 3rd flip (k=4): A = [3, 2, 1, 4]
After 4th flip (k=3): A = [1, 2, 3, 4], which is sorted. 

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3]
Output: []
Explanation: The input is already sorted, so there is no need to flip anything.
Note that other answers, such as [3, 3], would also be accepted.

Note:

1. 1 <= A.length <= 100
2. A[i] is a permutation of [1, 2, ..., A.length]

给定数组 A，我们可以对其进行煎饼翻转：我们选择一些正整数 k <= A.length，然后反转 A 的前 k 个元素的顺序。我们要执行零次或多次煎饼翻转（按顺序一次接一次地进行）以完成对数组 A 的排序。

返回能使 A 排序的煎饼翻转操作所对应的 k 值序列。任何将数组排序且翻转次数在 10 * A.length 范围内的有效答案都将被判断为正确。

示例 1：

输入：[3,2,4,1]
输出：[4,2,4,3]
解释：
我们执行 4 次煎饼翻转，k 值分别为 4，2，4，和 3。
初始状态 A = [3, 2, 4, 1]
第一次翻转后 (k=4): A = [1, 4, 2, 3]
第二次翻转后 (k=2): A = [4, 1, 2, 3]
第三次翻转后 (k=4): A = [3, 2, 1, 4]
第四次翻转后 (k=3): A = [1, 2, 3, 4]，此时已完成排序。 

示例 2：

输入：[1,2,3]
输出：[]
解释：
输入已经排序，因此不需要翻转任何内容。
请注意，其他可能的答案，如[3，3]，也将被接受。

提示：

1. 1 <= A.length <= 100
2. A[i] 是 [1, 2, ..., A.length] 的排列
