You are given a street of length n, where n is even. Each block on the street can hold one car.

In one move, you can move a car either forwards or backwards, as long as there is no car in the square to the left or to the right of the car.

There are n/2 total cars on the street, and your goal is to get the cars to be evenly spaced — meaning, there is exactly one open square between any two adjacent cars.
