Bessie the cow is a huge fan of card games, which is quite surprising, given her
lack of opposable thumbs. Unfortunately, none of the other cows in the herd are
good opponents. They are so bad, in fact, that they always play in a completely
predictable fashion! Nonetheless, it can still be a challenge for Bessie to
figure out how to win.
Bessie and her friend Elsie are currently playing a simple card game where they
take a deck of \(2N\) cards, conveniently numbered \(1 \ldots 2N\), and divide them
into \(N\) cards for Bessie and \(N\) cards for Elsie. The two then play \(N\)
rounds, where in each round Bessie and Elsie both play a single card. In the
first \(N/2\) rounds, the player with the highest card earns a point, and in the
last \(N/2\) rounds, the rules switch and the player who plays the lowest card
wins a point.
Given that Bessie can predict the order in which Elsie will play her cards,
please determine the maximum number of points Bessie can win.

The first line of input contains the value of N (\(2 \leq N \leq 50,000\); \(N\)
will be even).
The next N lines contain the cards that Elsie will play in each of the
successive rounds of the game. Note that it is easy to determine Bessie's cards
from this information.
Output a single line giving the maximum number of points Bessie can score.

32Here, Bessie must have cards 2, 5, and 6, and 7 in her hand, and
she can use these to win at most 2 points, by saving her '2' card until one
of the hands in the second half of the game.
