Solution: Rearranging Fruits
Explore how to use greedy algorithms to rearrange fruits between two baskets so their costs match. Learn to count fruit frequencies, identify excess fruits, and apply cost-efficient swaps to minimize the total swap expenditure. Understand when solutions are impossible and analyze the time and space complexity of this 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...
