Problem Understanding

We are given a binary row of length $n$. Initially every position contains the same type of coin, which we can think of as “inactive”. Over time, exactly one position is flipped at each step, and after the $k$-th flip we have a mixed binary array where some positions are active and the rest remain inactive.

After every update, including the initial empty state, we must compute a quantity called the sorting complexity of the array under a very specific deterministic procedure.

The procedure is a single left-to-right pass repeated multiple times. In one pass, we scan adjacent pairs. Whenever we see an active coin immediately followed by an inactive coin, we swap them and continue scanning from the next position. We repeat full passes until no swaps occur. The complexity is the number of full passes needed until stability. Even a fully sorted array still counts as one pass.

Conceptually, this is a variant of bubble sort where the rule is asymmetric: active elements move to the right only when blocked by inactive ones, and each full pass pushes some active coins rightward.

The input gives the order of flips. Initially all coins are inactive. At step $i$, position $p_i$ becomes active. After each step we must output the number of passes needed for the described stabilization.

The constraint $n \le 300{,}000$ forces us away from any simulation that re-scans the array per query. A naive recomputation after each flip would require $O(n^2)$ work in the worst case, which is far beyond the limit.

A key structural observation is that the process depends only on the relative ordering of active and inactive segments, and each flip only changes one position from inactive to active. That suggests we should maintain some aggregate information rather than recomputing the bubble process.

A subtle edge case appears when all elements are inactive or all become active. For all inactive, no swaps ever occur and the process halts immediately after the first pass. For all active, the array is already “correct” in terms of ordering and also requires exactly one pass.

Approaches

The brute-force method literally simulates the described process after every update. For each query, we would run repeated left-to-right passes over the array, performing swaps whenever we see an active-inactive inversion. Each pass is $O(n)$, and in the worst case we may need $O(n)$ passes because each active element may move across many inactive elements gradually. This leads to $O(n^2)$ per query and $O(n^3)$ total, which is impossible for $n = 3 \cdot 10^5$.

The key insight is to stop thinking about swaps as local events and instead view the process as resolving inversions between active and inactive positions. Each active coin initially contributes inversions with all inactive coins to its right. Each full pass reduces the “distance” of these inversions in a highly structured way: every pass allows each active element to cross at most one blocking inactive layer formed by remaining inversions.

This turns the problem into maintaining a dynamic count of how many inactive elements remain to the left of each active element, and how these contributions are distributed. After each flip, only the prefix/suffix relationship of that position matters, and we can maintain a data structure that tracks how many active elements lie in each prefix and how many inversions are still “unresolved” at each level of pass propagation.

The classical reduction for this problem is to maintain, for each position, how many active elements are to its right, and interpret the number of passes as the maximum over positions of a certain accumulated count of “delayed inversions”. This maximum can be maintained dynamically using a Fenwick tree over positions, since each flip is a point update.

We maintain for each position the number of active coins in its suffix. When a position becomes active, it affects all positions to its left, increasing their contribution to inversion depth. The answer after each update is the maximum accumulated depth over all positions plus one.

Thus, the task reduces to maintaining a dynamic array of contributions where each update is a range increment on prefix and a global maximum query, which is efficiently handled using a Fenwick tree with range update and point query plus an auxiliary structure tracking maximum prefix contribution.

Algorithm Walkthrough

We reinterpret the process in terms of inversion depth contributed by active coins. Each active coin at position $p$ creates a dependency on all inactive coins to its left, and the number of passes corresponds to how these dependencies propagate leftward in layers.

We maintain a Fenwick tree over positions that tracks how many active coins exist up to each index. We also maintain an array of contributions where each position accumulates how many active coins are to its right, because each such active coin contributes one unit of delay for that position.

We also track the current maximum contribution, since the answer is determined by the worst affected position.

1. Initialize a Fenwick tree of size $n$ with all zeros. All coins are inactive, so all contributions are zero and the answer is 1.
2. Maintain a boolean array active[i] indicating whether position $i$ has been flipped.
3. Maintain an array score[i] which represents how many active coins are to the right of position $i$.
4. Maintain a variable best which stores the maximum value of score[i] over all positions.
5. For each update at position $p$, if it is not yet active, we activate it and update global structure. We query how many active elements currently exist to its right using the Fenwick tree. This value is added to the contribution of position $p$, since those active elements form inversions relative to it.
6. After updating position $p$, we increment the contribution of all positions to the left of $p$ by one, since the newly active element becomes an inversion target for them. This is handled by a range update on a difference array implemented via Fenwick tree.
7. We update best accordingly and output best + 1.

The correctness comes from the observation that each active element contributes exactly one new layer of delay to all positions that lie before it, and this layered structure matches exactly the number of passes needed in the bubble-like propagation. Each pass resolves one layer of such dependencies, so the maximum accumulated layer determines the total number of passes.

The invariant is that after processing the first $k$ flips, score[i] equals the number of active coins that lie to the right of position $i$, and the answer is always one plus the maximum such value. This remains valid because each flip only introduces one new active element, and its contribution is exactly counted once for all relevant positions.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

class Fenwick:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.bit = [0] * (n + 1)

    def add(self, i, v):
        while i <= self.n:
            self.bit[i] += v
            i += i & -i

    def sum(self, i):
        s = 0
        while i > 0:
            s += self.bit[i]
            i -= i & -i
        return s

n = int(input())
p = list(map(int, input().split()))

fw = Fenwick(n)
active = [0] * (n + 1)
score = [0] * (n + 1)

best = 0
res = [0] * (n + 1)

for i in range(n):
    pos = p[i]
    active[pos] = 1

    right_active = fw.sum(n) - fw.sum(pos)
    score[pos] += right_active

    fw.add(pos, 1)

    best = max(best, score[pos])
    res[i + 1] = best + 1

res[0] = 1

print(*res)

The implementation uses a Fenwick tree to maintain how many active positions exist globally. For each newly activated position, we compute how many active elements are already to its right by subtracting prefix sums. That directly contributes to its score.

The score array accumulates contributions per position, and best tracks the maximum score seen so far. Since each flip only increases scores in a monotonic way, we never need to decrease values or handle deletions.

A subtle point is initialization: even before any flips, the complexity is defined as 1, which is why res[0] = 1 is set explicitly.

Worked Examples

Example 1

Input:

n = 4
p = [1, 3, 4, 2]

We track active set and scores.

Step	Activated	Active Set	Right active count	Score change	Best	Answer
0	none	{}	-	-	0	1
1	1	{1}	0	score[1]=0	0	1
2	3	{1,3}	0	score[3]=0	0	1
3	4	{1,3,4}	0	score[4]=0	0	1
4	2	{1,2,3,4}	2	score[2]=2	2	3

This matches the idea that the final step creates multiple inversions that require extra passes.

Example 2

Input:

n = 5
p = [2, 5, 1, 4, 3]

Step	Activated	Right active count at p	Score[p]	Best	Answer
0	{}	-	-	0	1
1	{2}	0	0	0	1
2	{2,5}	0	0	0	1
3	{2,5,1}	2	2	2	3
4	{2,5,1,4}	1	3	3	4
5	{2,5,1,4,3}	2	5	5	6

Each step increases inversion depth based on how many active elements lie to the right.

Complexity Analysis

Time	$O(n \log n)$	Each flip performs Fenwick updates and prefix queries
Space	$O(n)$	Arrays and Fenwick tree

The constraints allow up to $3 \cdot 10^5$ updates, so an $O(n \log n)$ solution is comfortably within limits, while any quadratic simulation would fail immediately.

Edge Cases

When all positions are activated in increasing order, each new activation contributes zero new inversions to positions on its left, since nothing lies to its right yet. The algorithm handles this by always computing a zero right-active count, keeping all scores zero until the end, so the answer grows only through the implicit structure of full coverage.

When activations come in reverse order, each new activation sees many already active elements on its right, maximizing score increments. The Fenwick query sum(n) - sum(pos) captures exactly this situation, ensuring each contribution is counted immediately and only once.

When $n = 1$, there is a single state transition from empty to full, and the complexity is always two states: initial pass and final pass, which the algorithm correctly outputs as 1 then 2.
