You are given two integer arrays `aliceSizes` and bobSizes where `aliceSizes[i]` is the number of candies of the ith box of candy that Alice has and `bobSizes[j]` is the number of candies of the `jth` box of candy that Bob has. + +Since they are friends, they would like to exchange one candy box each so that after the exchange, they both have the same total amount of candy. The total amount of candy a person has is the sum of the number of candies in each box they have. + +Return an integer array answer where `answer[0]` is the number of candies in the box that Alice must exchange, and `answer[1]` is the number of candies in the box that Bob must exchange.

Then, it sorts Bob's candy boxes for efficient searching. It iterates over Alice's candy boxes, checking if swapping a box with Bob can balance their total candies. For each box of Alice, it calculates the required box from Bob and uses binary search to find it in Bob's sorted array. If a valid swap is found, it updates the answer and returns it. + +#### Java +```Java +class Solution { + public int[] fairCandySwap(int[] aliceSizes, int[] bobSizes) { + Arrays.sort(bobSizes); + int aliceSum=0; + int bobSum=0; + for(int i=0;i=0){ + ans[0]=aliceSizes[i]; + ans[1]=(bobSum-aliceSum+(2*aliceSizes[i]))/2; + } + else if(aliceSizes[i]==(bobSum-aliceSum+(2*aliceSizes[i]))/2){ + ans[0]=aliceSizes[i]; + ans[1]=aliceSizes[i]; + } + } + return ans; + } +} +``` + +- Time Complexity +The time complexity is o(n). + +- Space Complexity +The space complexity is O(1).
