Relative Sorting Problem Statement

You are given two arrays, 'ARR' of size 'N' and 'BRR' of size 'M'. Your task is to sort the elements of 'ARR' such that their relative order matches that in 'BRR'. Any elements in 'ARR' not found in 'BRR' should be appended at the end in sorted order.

Example:

Input:

ARR = {9, 5, 8, 4, 6, 5}
BRR = {8, 4, 5}

Output:

{8, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9}

Constraints:

Relative Sorting Problem Statement

You are given two arrays, 'ARR' of size 'N' and 'BRR' of size 'M'. Your task is to sort the elements of 'ARR' such that their relative order matches that in 'BRR'. Any elements in 'ARR' not found in 'BRR' should be appended at the end in sorted order.

Example:

Input:

ARR = {9, 5, 8, 4, 6, 5}
BRR = {8, 4, 5}

Output:

{8, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9}

Constraints:

1 <= T <= 5
1 <= N <= 10^5
1 <= M <= 10^5
-10^9 <= ARR[i], BRR[i] <= 10^9
Time limit: 1 sec

Note:

Elements of 'BRR' are non-repeating.

Additional Information:

This function only needs implementation; the output is automatically handled elsewhere.

Accepted Answer

The task is to sort the elements of ARR in such a way that the relative order among the elements will be the same as those are in BRR. For the elements not present in BRR, append them in the last in sorted order.

Create a frequency map of elements in ARR
Iterate through BRR and for each element, append it to the result array the number of times it appears in ARR
Iterate through the frequency map and for each element not present in BRR, append it to the result array
Sort the result array in ascending order
Return the result array
