Given two sorted non-decreasing arrays arr1[] and arr2[] of length N. The task is to make array arr1 such that arr1[i] <= arr2[i] for all i. If arr1[i] is greater than arr2[i], then shift all the elements to the right of arr1[i] by one place (including arr1[i]), (the last element will be deleted), and update arr1[i] = arr2[i]. You do not have to make any changes to arr2. Now you have to print the minimum number of shift required to make all elements of arr1 <= arr2. The maximum length of arr1 and arr2 will not exceed 10^3.

Examples:

Input: N = 6, arr1[] = {1000, 1400, 2000, 2000, 2200, 2700}, arr2[] = {800, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2200, 3000}
Output: 2
Explanation: As we can see that arr1[0] (1000) > arr2[0] (800), so we shift all elements to the right by one place (3000 will be removed) and arr1[0] will be 800, that is the new arr1[] = {800, 1000, 1400, 2000, 2000, 2200}. Now arr1[3] (2000) > arr2[3] (1800) so all elements to the right of 3 will be shifted by 1 place (2200 will be removed) and arr1[3] will be 1800, that is the new arr1[] = {800, 1000, 1400, 1800, 2000, 2000}. Now there is no need to make further changes as all elements of arr1 <= arr2. As we have made 2 shifts so the output is 2.

Input: N = 6, arr1[] = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, arr2[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Output: 3
Explanation: The first shift will be at arr1[0], so now arr1 = {1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. The second shift will be at arr1[1], so now arr1 = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7}. The third shift will be at arr1[2], so now arr1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Now the condition has been fulfilled, so there is no need to make changes, and as 3 shifts are made, the output is 3.

Approach: To solve the problem follow the below idea:

Iterate through each element in arr1. Then check if arr1[i] > arr2[i] then we shift all elements from index i to one more unit to their right side.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

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

void shift(vector<int>& A, int k)
{

    // we iterating in reverse as we do not need last
    // element
    for (int i = A.size() - 1; i > k; i--) {
        A[i] = A[i - 1];
    }
    return;
}

int main()
{
    int N = 6;
    vector<int> A = { 1000, 1400, 2000, 2000, 2200, 2700 };
    vector<int> B = { 800, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2200, 3000 };
    int ans = 0; // this will keep count of shifts made
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        if (A[i] > B[i]) {

            // we will pass array A and index i as we have
            // to shift from i
            shift(A, i);

            // increasing count
            ans++;

            // updating A[i]
            A[i] = B[i];
        }
    }
    cout << ans << "\n";
    return 0;
}
