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);
    A.push_back(5);
    A.push_back(10);
    A.push_back(6);
    A.push_back(8);
    A.push_back(2);
    A.push_back(2);
 
    B.push_back(2);
    B.push_back(5);
    B.push_back(6);
    B.push_back(8);
    B.push_back(10);
    B.push_back(2);
    B.push_back(2);
 
    areSameSet(A, B)? cout << "Yes" : cout << "No";
}

Output: 

Yes

Time Complexity: O(n*log(n)).

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”.
