/*** Imagine you have a parking place with n slots and n-1 cars numbered from 1..n-1. The free slot is represented by 0 in the problem. If you want to rearrange the cars, you can only move one car at a time into the empty slot, which is equivalent to “swap a number with 0”. Example: src={1,0,3,2}; tgt={0,1,2,3}; 1230 0123 IDEA: src[i] = 0; int target = tgt[i]; find target in src and swap with 0; if zero is at ideal position, find the next wrong position and swap if all number is at the ideal position, finish ***/ #include <iostream> using namespace std; void swap( int * a , int * b ) {        int t = * a ;        * a = * b ;        * b = t; } int check( int * src , int * tgt , int sz ) {        for ( int i=0; i< sz ; i++) {           ...
