We have two integer sequences A and B of the same non-zero length.
We are allowed to swap elements A[i] and B[i]. Note that both elements are in the same index position in their respective sequences.
At the end of some number of swaps, A and B are both strictly increasing. (A sequence is strictly increasing if and only if A[0] < A[1] < A[2] < … < A[A.length - 1].)
Given A and B, return the minimum number of swaps to make both sequences strictly increasing. It is guaranteed that the given input always makes it possible.
Example:
Input: A = [1,3,5,4], B = [1,2,3,7]
Output: 1
Explanation:
Swap A[3] and B[3]. Then the sequences are:
A = [1, 3, 5, 7] and B = [1, 2, 3, 4]
which are both strictly increasing.
Note:
A, B are arrays with the same length, and that length will be in the range [1, 1000].
A[i], B[i] are integer values in the range [0, 2000].

public int minSwap(int[] A, int[] B) {
// n: natural, s: swapped
int n1 = 0, s1 = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < A.length; ++i) {
int n2 = Integer.MAX_VALUE, s2 = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
if (A[i-1] < A[i] && B[i-1] < B[i]) {
n2 = Math.min(n2, n1);
s2 = Math.min(s2, s1 + 1);
}
if (A[i-1] < B[i] && B[i-1] < A[i]) {
n2 = Math.min(n2, s1);
s2 = Math.min(s2, n1 + 1);
}
n1 = n2;
s1 = s2;

return Math.min(n1, s1);
