Solution: Rearranging Fruits

Explore how to use greedy algorithms to minimize costs when swapping fruits between two baskets to make them identical. Understand frequency counting, sorting, and selecting swaps based on the smallest fruit cost. Learn to implement an efficient solution that balances cost and optimization.

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 ...
