Write a pseudo-code for the following scenerio There are N students in a round table meeting. Each student belongs to a university given in the array A[i], which denotes the university that the ith student belongs to. There are Q queries of the form xy, denoting two universities. The answer to each query is the minimum time taken by any one of the student from these universities to meet each other. i want answer

Note:

Exactly 1 student of university x and y have to meet each other

In this context, meeting means that the absolute distance between the positions is  

Time taken by the student to move from  position to  or  position is exactly 1 second

Both the students move together at the same time

Both the students move optimally in the correct direction

Two students can belong to the same university

Round Table means that the nth position and 1st position are adjacent

Input

The first line of input contains 2 integers N and Q

The second line contains N space seperated integers denoting  

Q lines follow . Each containing 2 integers x and y

Output

The output contains q lines each containing the answer to each query

CONSTRAINTS

Constraint:  ,  The elements of the array are between 1 to  

x and y are guaranteed to be present in the array

SAMPLE INPUT  

10 4  

7 1 4 3 1 6 4 2 5 1  

3 4  

1 2

2 7

6 7

SAMPLE OUTPUT

Explanation

Positions : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Values : 7 1 4 3 1 6 4 2 5 1

Query 1: 3 and 4 are already adjacent , therefore answer is 0

Query 2: 1 and 2, in this case there are three 1's present

Checking the answer for all the 1's

1(at posn 2) : Answer = 2

1(at posn 5) : Answer= 1

1(at posn 10) : Answer= 1

Therefore answer=1;
