Solution: Rearranging Fruits
Explore how to apply greedy algorithms to minimize swap costs between two fruit baskets. Understand counting, sorting, and cost evaluation methods to solve the problem efficiently. This lesson shows how to balance basket fruit frequencies and calculate minimum swap costs using sorting and a greedy approach.

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...
