Solution: Rearranging Fruits

Explore how to apply greedy techniques to solve the problem of making two baskets identical by swapping fruits with minimal cost. Understand frequency counting, sorting, and cost optimization strategies to ensure both baskets have the same fruit distribution 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 ...
