Solution: Rearranging Fruits

Understand how to use greedy algorithms and frequency counting to minimize the cost of swapping fruits between two baskets. Explore how sorting and selecting the smallest swap cost can balance fruit counts 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 ...
