Solution: Rearranging Fruits
Learn to apply a greedy algorithm to solve the problem of making two fruit baskets identical by swapping elements at minimal cost. This lesson guides you to understand frequency counts, excess calculation, and cost optimization techniques to implement an efficient solution for balancing two arrays using sorting and greedy swaps.

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...
