# PROBLEM:

You’re given two multisets of integers. You can swap any two integers from diffrent multisets. You want to perform as few swaps as possbile in such a way that sum of elements of the first multiset is greater than sum of elements of the second multiset.

# QUICK EXPLANATION:

It’s always profitable to swap the smallest integer from the first multiset (let’s call it x) with the biggest integer from the second multiset (let’s call it y). If x \geq y and the winning condition isn’t met you should print -1.

# EXPLANATION:

First of all, let’s see what happens when we swap two integers from different multisets. Let’s call sum of elements of the first multiset before swap SA_1. Similarly we can define SB_1. Let’s call integer that will be deleted from the first multiset x. Let’s call integer that will be deleted from the second multiset y. So new sum of elements of the first multiset will be SA_1 - x + y and new sum of elements of the second multiset will be SB_1 - y + x.

Since we want sum of elements of the first multiset to be greater than sum of elements of the second multiset it’s always profitable to swap the smallest integer from the first multiset with the biggest integer from the second multiset. Let’s prove this fact.

Indeed let’s call the smallest integer from the first multiset sml and another one that we want to swap bad. \Delta = bad - sml. We can notice that if we will swap sml instead of bad new sum of elements of the first multiset will increase by \Delta and new sum of elements of the second multiset will decrease by \Delta and since \Delta always \geq0 (sml \leq bad) the result won’t be worse.

In similar manner we can prove this fact for the biggest integer from the second multiset. So now we can just simulate this process:

1. if sum of elements of the first multiset is bigger than sum of elements of the second multiset we should stop the process and print value of counter;
2. In other case let’s find x and y.
3. If x \geq y print -1;
4. if x < y swap them and add 1 to counter.

Complexity of the solution: O(n^2)

Can anyone help me in finding the error in my solution. It is partially correct i.e for subtasks. I tried but it seems correct to me.

can I get editorial for java language?

remember if the score are equal then also it is not possible … also your loops are bit confusing
instead you can do something like this

t = int(input())
for i in range(t):

    n, m = map(int, input().split())
pn = list(map(int, input().split()))

s_pn, s_pm = sum(pn), sum(pm)
if s_pn > s_pm:
print(0)

elif min(pn) >= max(pm):
print(-1)

else:
swap = 1
flag = 0
while swap <= n:
s_pn = s_pn + max(pm) - min(pn)

pn.remove(min(pn))

if flag == 1:

Can anyone help me figuring out my mistake.

The condition is that the person with strictly more votes wins, while in your code you break even for equal votes. Your solution was very similar to the one I used if you want to check that out heres the link : My Solution

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

int sum_arr(long long int arr[], int n)
{ int sum=0;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
sum+=arr[i];
}
return sum;
}

int main() {
long long int t;
long long int n,m,b[m],a[n];
long long int ans=0,sum_n,sum_m;
while(t–)
{ cin>>n>>m;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
cin>>a[i];
}
for(int j=0;j<m;j++)
{
cin>>b[j];
}
sum_n=sum_arr(a,n);
sum_m=sum_arr(b,m);
if(sum_n<=sum_m)
{
int x=*min_element(a,a+n);
int y=*max_element(b,b+n);
if(x>=y)
{
ans=-1;

        }
else

{
sum_m+=x-y;
sum_n+=y-x;
ans++;
}

cout<<ans<<endl;
}

}
return 0;
