#1460 Make Two Arrays Equal by Reversing Subarrays

APPROACH

You are given two integer arrays of equal length target and arr. In one step, you can select any non-empty subarray of arr and reverse it. You are allowed to make any number of steps.

Return true if you can make arr equal to target or false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: target = [1,2,3,4], arr = [2,4,1,3]

Output: true

Explanation: You can follow the next steps to convert arr to target:

1- Reverse subarray [2,4,1], arr becomes [1,4,2,3]

2- Reverse subarray [4,2], arr becomes [1,2,4,3]

3- Reverse subarray [4,3], arr becomes [1,2,3,4]

There are multiple ways to convert arr to target, this is not the only way to do so.

Example 2:

Input: target = [7], arr = [7]

Output: true

Explanation: arr is equal to target without any reverses.

Example 3:

Input: target = [3,7,9], arr = [3,7,11]

Output: false

Explanation: arr does not have value 9 and it can never be converted to target.
