Solution: Rearranging Fruits

Understand how to apply a greedy technique to solve the problem of making two fruit baskets identical with minimal swap cost. Learn to count fruit frequencies, identify excess fruits, and use sorting to optimize swapping. This lesson guides you through implementing and analyzing a solution to balance baskets, emphasizing time and space complexity considerations.

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 ...
