Solution: Rearranging Fruits

Understand how to apply greedy algorithms to optimize the cost of making two baskets identical by calculating excess fruits and performing minimal cost swaps. Explore frequency counting, sorting, and cost minimization techniques to solve this problem effectively.

Statement

Given two 0-indexed integer arrays, basket1 and basket2, representing the cost of each fruit in the basket. Each basket contains nn fruits. Make the two baskets identical, i.e., both arrays should have the same costs.

To achieve this, perform the following operation as many times as necessary:

  1. Select two indexes, ii and jj, and swap the fruit at index ii in basket1 with the fruit at index jj ...
