hello:
how many inversions there in S O T R M E ?
C guarantees that all these character codes are positive
numbers, but says nothing about their values or their relative
order. Thus, your question is not answerable except in fairly
broad terms: "No fewer than zero and no more than fifteen."
If you want to impress your instructor with the depth of
your understanding, there's no better way to do it than to
submit an answer like the one above. At one stroke it shows
that you have mastered the material even better than your
teacher has, by pointing up a flaw in the homework assignment.
Since teachers are strongly interested in the increase of
knowledge and wisdom, you can expect to be thanked and suitably
rewarded. Good luck!
