Solution: Rearranging Fruits

Explore a greedy algorithm that helps you find the minimum swap cost to make two baskets identical by balancing fruit counts. This lesson guides you through using frequency counts, sorting, and cost minimization to solve optimization problems efficiently.

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 ...
