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].
