This is the problem. This is my WA attempt.

What I have observed is that a maximum of (n/2-1) maxima is possible for an array of size n, where n is even. So initially I created another array q such that the final array a = p+q , has all elements equal. Then I greedily tried to create (n/2-1) maximas by swapping the elements of array q( In the code it's ans array). I am willing to explain more if clarification is needed. Please just give me the hint, I want to solve it myself.

I will be thankful for any help!
