You are given two integer arrays of equal length target and arr. In one step, you can select any non-empty subarray of arr and reverse it. You are allowed to make any number of steps.
Return true if you can make arr equal to target or 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 subarray [2,4,1], arr becomes [1,4,2,3] 2- Reverse subarray [4,2], arr becomes [1,2,4,3] 3- Reverse subarray [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.length1 <= target.length <= 10001 <= target[i] <= 10001 <= arr[i] <= 1000
Hints
Hint 1
Each element of target should have a corresponding element in arr, and if it doesn't have a corresponding element, return false.
Hint 2
To solve it easiely you can sort the two arrays and check if they are equal.
