1460. Make Two Arrays Equal by Reversing Sub-arrays

Easy

You are given two integer arrays of equal length target and arr. In one step, you can select any non-empty sub-array of arr and reverse it. You are allowed to make any number of steps.

Return true if you can make arr equal to targetor false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: target = [1,2,3,4], arr = [2,4,1,3]

Output: true

Explanation: You can follow the next steps to convert arr to target:

1- Reverse sub-array [2,4,1], arr becomes [1,4,2,3]

2- Reverse sub-array [4,2], arr becomes [1,2,4,3]

3- Reverse sub-array [4,3], arr becomes [1,2,3,4]

There are multiple ways to convert arr to target, this is not the only way to do so.

Example 2:

Input: target = [7], arr = [7]

Output: true

Explanation: arr is equal to target without any reverses.

Example 3:

Input: target = [3,7,9], arr = [3,7,11]

Output: false

Explanation: arr does not have value 9 and it can never be converted to target.

Constraints:

• target.length == arr.length
• 1 <= target.length <= 1000
• 1 <= target[i] <= 1000
• 1 <= arr[i] <= 1000

Solution

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Solution {
    public boolean canBeEqual(int[] target, int[] arr) {
        int n = target.length;
        Arrays.sort(target);
        Arrays.sort(arr);
        int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < target.length; i++) {
            if (target[i] == arr[i]) {
                count++;
            }
        }
        return count == n;
    }
}
