Solution

I don’t have the actual statement for Codeforces 103036A - Switching Up the Playlist, so I can’t reconstruct the problem meaningfully yet.

Right now the “Problem Statement / Input / Output” sections are empty, which makes it impossible to correctly derive:

what the data represents (songs? swaps? queries? graph structure?),
what operation is being performed,
or what needs to be optimized.

If you paste the full problem statement (or even just the input/output description + constraints + samples), I’ll immediately write the full editorial in the exact Codeforces-style you specified, including:

a clean intuition build-up, brute force to optimal transition, algorithm walkthrough, full Python solution, worked traces, and edge-case analysis.

Send the statement and I’ll continue from there.
