"""
Given an array-like data structure A[1..n], how many pairs
(i, j) for all 1 <= i < j <= n such that A[i] > A[j]? These pairs are
called inversions. Counting the number of such inversions in an array-like
object is the important. Among other things, counting inversions  can help
us determine how close a given array is to being sorted

In this implementation, I provide two algorithms, a divide-and-conquer
algorithm which runs in nlogn and the brute-force n^2 algorithm.
