Check if two unsorted arrays (with duplicates allowed) have same elements
Last Updated :
03 Apr, 2023
Given two unsorted arrays, check whether both arrays have the same set of elements or not.
Examples:
Input : A = {2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 2, 2}
B = {2, 5, 5, 6, 8, 5, 6}
Output : No
Input : A = {2, 5, 6, 8, 2, 10, 2}
B = {2, 5, 6, 8, 2, 10, 2}
Output : Yes
Input : A = {2, 5, 8, 6, 10, 2, 2}
B = {2, 5, 6, 8, 2, 10, 2}
Output : Yes
Method 1 (Simple):
A simple solution to this problem is to check if each element of A is present in B. But this approach will lead to a wrong answer in case of multiple instances of an element is present in B. To overcome this issue, we mark visited instances of B[] using an auxiliary array visited[].
C++
// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to check if both arrays are same
bool areSameSet(vector<int> A, vector<int> B)
{
int n = A.size();
if (B.size() != n)
return false;
// visited array is used to handle duplicates
vector<bool> visited(n, false);
// each element of A is matched
// against each element of B
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
int j = 0;
for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
{
if (A[i] == B[j] && visited[j] == false)
{
visited[j] = true;
break;
}
}
// If we could not find A[i] in B[]
if (j == n)
return false;
}
return true;
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
vector<int> A, B;
A.push_back(2);

Method 3 (Hashing):
We can decrease the time complexity of the above problem by using a Hash table. First, we iterate through A and mark the number of instances of each element of A in a Hash Table. Then we iterate through B and decrease the corresponding value in the hash table. If in the end if all the entries of the hash table are zero, the answer will be "Yes" else "No".

// C++ program to implement Naive approach

// If the size of vector A and vector B is not equal return False
if (B.size() != n)
return false;
// Create a hash table to
