Palindromic Sequences Problem Description Palindromic sequences are used as test cases to assess the performance of a machine-learning algorithm for detecting and manipulating palindromic patterns. Given an array of integers data[n] , the objective is to convert the array into a palindromic sequence for training the ML algorithm. The operation for manipulating the array is: Choose two integers x and y . Replace every occurrence of x in the array with y . The task is to determine the minimum number of operations required to transform the data array into a palindrome. Complete the getMinOperations function in the editor with the following parameter: int data[n] : the data to be preprocessed to test a machine learning algorithm Returns: int : the minimum number of operations required to make the array a palindrome Examples Example 1: Input: n = 6, data = [1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 4] Output: 2 Explanation: Initially, data = [1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 4] . Operation 1: Replace all occurrences of 1 with 4 . The
