Find anagram mappings¶
Time: O(N); Space: O(N); easy
Given two lists A and B, and B is an anagram of A. B is an anagram of A means B is made by randomizing the order of the elements in A.
We want to find an index mapping P, from A to B. A mapping P[i] = j means the ith element in A appears in B at index j.
These lists A and B may contain duplicates. If there are multiple answers, output any of them.
Example 1:
Input: A = [12, 28, 46, 32, 50], B = [50, 12, 32, 46, 28]
Output: [1, 4, 3, 2, 0]
Explanation:
As P[0] = 1 because the 0th element of A appears at B[1], and P[1] = 4 because the 1st element of A appears at B[4], and so on.
Example 2:
Input: A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], B = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Output: [4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
Explanation:
As P[0] = 4 because the 0th element of A appears at B[4], and P[1] = 3 because the 1st element of A appears at B[3], and so on.
Constraints:
A, B have equal lengths in range [1, 100].
A[i], B[i] are integers in range [0, 10^5].
