💡 Problem Idea:
For every pair:
nums[i] and nums[n-1-i]
we want all pairs to have the same sum using minimum moves.
Each move allows changing an element to any value between:
1 to limit
We calculate:
0 move ranges
1 move ranges
2 move ranges
Then use Difference Array + Prefix Sum to efficiently find the minimum operations.
📌 Approaches Explained:
Brute Force Idea
Optimized Difference Array Method
Prefix Sum Calculation
