Minimum number of swaps required to sort an array

https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/minimum-swaps-2/problem

Minimum Swaps II

You are given an unordered array consisting of consecutive integers  [1, 2, 3, ..., n] without any duplicates. You are allowed to swap any two elements. You need to find the minimum number of swaps required to sort the array in ascending order.

For example, given the array  we perform the following steps:

i   arr                         swap (indices)
0   [7, 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6]   swap (0,3)
1   [2, 1, 3, 7, 4, 5, 6]   swap (0,1)
2   [1, 2, 3, 7, 4, 5, 6]   swap (3,4)
3   [1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 5, 6]   swap (4,5)
4   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6]   swap (5,6)
5   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

It took  swaps to sort the array.

Given an array of n distinct elements, find the minimum number of swaps required to sort the array.

Examples:

Input : {4, 3, 2, 1}
Output : 2
Explanation : Swap index 0 with 3 and 1 with 2 to
form the sorted array {1, 2, 3, 4}.

Input : {1, 5, 4, 3, 2}
Output : 2
