CF1491G Switch and Flip
Description
There are $ n $ coins labeled from $ 1 $ to $ n $ . Initially, coin $ c_i $ is on position $ i $ and is facing upwards (( $ c_1, c_2, \dots, c_n) $ is a permutation of numbers from $ 1 $ to $ n $ ). You can do some operations on these coins.
In one operation, you can do the following:
- Choose $ 2 $ distinct indices $ i $ and $ j $ .
- Then, swap the coins on positions $ i $ and $ j $ .
- Then, flip both coins on positions $ i $ and $ j $ . (If they are initially faced up, they will be faced down after the operation and vice versa)
Construct a sequence of at most $ n+1 $ operations such that after performing all these operations the coin $ i $ will be on position $ i $ at the end, facing up.
Note that you do not need to minimize the number of operations.

Explanation/Hint
Let coin $ i $ facing upwards be denoted as $ i $ and coin $ i $ facing downwards be denoted as $ -i $ .
The series of moves performed in the first sample changes the coins as such:
- $ [~~~2,~~~1,~~~3] $
- $ [-3,~~~1,-2] $
- $ [-3,~~~2,-1] $
- $ [~~~1,~~~2,~~~3] $
In the second sample, the coins are already in their correct positions so there is no need to swap.
