Statement
Given two 0-indexed integer arrays, basket1 and basket2, representing the cost of each fruit in the basket. Each basket contains
To achieve this, perform the following operation as many times as necessary:
Select two indexes,
and , and swap the fruit at index in basket1with the fruit at index...
