Check two array are equal or not in O(n):🙄

#cpp

Map is the solution of that problem 

#include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main() { int a[]={1,2,5,4,0}; int b[]={2,4,5,0,1}; int n=5; //find that both array are equal in O(n) map<int,int>mp1; map<int,int>mp2; for(int i=0;i<n;i++) { mp1[a[i]]++; mp2[b[i]]++; } if(mp1==mp2) cout<<"both same"; else cout<<"different"; return 0; }

  1. It might be worth noting that you mean that the arrays contain the same elements but in arbitrary order. Equality of arrays is usually including the order.
  2. While this is indeed technically linear, it is also simply leveraging the operator == overload of map: cplusplus.com/reference/map/map/op...
