Minimum Number of Moves to Seat Everyone
There are n available seats and n students standing in a room. You are given an array seats of length n, where seats[i] is the position of the i^th seat. You are also given the array students of length n, where students[j] is the position of the j^th student.
You may perform the following move any number of times:
- Increase or decrease the position of the
i^thstudent by1(i.e., moving thei^thstudent from positionxtox + 1orx - 1).
Return the minimum number of moves required to move each student to a seat such that no two students are in the same seat.
Note that there may be multiple seats or students in the same position at the beginning.
Example 1
Input
seats = [3,1,5], students = [2,7,4]Output
4The students can be moved from positions 2, 7, and 4 to seats at positions 1, 5, and 3 respectively, using 1 + 2 + 1 = 4 moves.
Example 2
Input
seats = [4,1,5,9], students = [1,3,2,6]Output
7The students can be moved using 0 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 7 total moves.
Constraints
- n == seats.length == students.length
- 1 <= n <= 100
- 1 <= seats[i], students[j] <= 100
