184. Beautiful Arrangement
Medium · Backtracking
A beautiful arrangement is a permutation of the numbers 1 to n where, for every position i (counting from 1), either the number at that position divides i, or i divides that number. Given an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 15), count how many beautiful arrangements exist. For example, with n=2, both [1,2] and [2,1] are beautiful: in [1,2], position 1 has 1 (1 divides 1) and position 2 has 2 (2 divides 2); in [2,1], position 1 has 2 (2 divides 1 is false, but 1 divides 2 is true) and position 2 has 1 (1 divides 2). Input: a single integer n. Output: the count of valid permutations.
Examples
Example 1 Input: 1 Output: 1 Explanation: Only one permutation; trivially satisfies the rule
Example 2 Input: 2 Output: 2 Explanation: [1,2] and [2,1] both work
