Program to check if we reverse sublist of one list to form second list or not in Python
Suppose we have two lists of numbers called A, and B. We have to take some sublist in A and reverse it. Then check whether it is possible to turn A into B or not. We can take sublist and reverse it any number of times.
So, if the input is like A = [2, 3, 4, 9, 10], B = [4, 3, 2, 10, 9], then the output will be True as we can reverse [2,3,4] and [9,10].
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
- res := a map, initially empty
- for each n in nums, do
- res[n] := res[n] + 1
- for each t in target, do
- res[t] := res[t] - 1
- return true when all elements in the values of res is same as 0.
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
Example
from collections import defaultdict class Solution: def solve(self, nums, target): res = defaultdict(int) for n in nums: res[n] += 1 for t in target: res[t] -= 1 return all(n == 0 for n in res.values()) ob = Solution() A = [2, 3, 4, 9, 10] B = [4, 3, 2, 10, 9] print(ob.solve(A, B))
Input
[2, 3, 4, 9, 10], [4, 3, 2, 10, 9]
Output
True
