Maximize Array sum by swapping at most K elements with another array

Given two arrays A and B of size N and an integer K, the task is to find the maximum possible sum of array A by swapping at most K elements with array B.

Examples:

Input: A[] = {2, 3, 4}, B[] = {6, 8, 5}, K = 1 
Output: 15 
Explanation: Swap A[0] and B[1]. Hence sum = 8 + 3 + 4 = 15. 

Input: A[] = {9, 7}, B[] = {5, 1}, K = 2 
Output: 16 
Explanation: Since all the elements of array A are greater than the elements of array B, no swaps are required. 

Maximize Array sum by swapping at most K elements with another array using Sorting

The idea is to replace all the smallest elements present in A with the largest elements of B, till the value of A[i] < B[i] and K swaps are not complete.

Follow the steps mentioned below to implement the idea:

• Sort the array A and B in non-decreasing order. 
• Traverse array A from the beginning and array B from the end, so that we can swap the minimum element of array A with the maximum element of array B. 
• If the element of array A is smaller than that of array B, swap them. Otherwise, break the loop. 
• Do this for at most K elements, and break the loop after that. 
• Find the sum of the resultant array A. 

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation to find maximum
// sum of array A by swapping
// at most K elements with array B

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the maximum sum
void maximumSum(int a[], int b[],
                int k, int n)
{
    int i, j;
    sort(a, a + n);
    sort(b, b + n);

    // If element of array a is
    // smaller than that of
    // array b, swap them.
    for (i = 0, j = n - 1; i < k;
         i++, j--) {
        if (a[i] < b[j])
            swap(a[i], b[j]);
        else
            break;
    }

    // Find sum of resultant array
    int sum = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
        sum += a[i];
    cout << sum << endl;
}

int main()
{
    int K = 1;
    int A[] = { 2, 3, 4 };
    int B[] = { 6, 8, 5 };

    int N = sizeof(A) / sizeof(A[0]);

    maximumSum(A, B, K, N);
    return 0;
}

    {
