The problem

You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2 where nums2 is an anagram of nums1. Both arrays may contain duplicates.

Example

Input
nums1 = [12,28,46,32,50], nums2 = [50,12,32,46,28]
Output
[1,4,3,2,0]
Explanation
As mapping[0] = 1 because the 0th element of nums1 appears at nums2[1], and mapping[1] = 4 because the 1st element of nums1 appears at nums2[4], and so on.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def anagramMappings(self, nums1: List[int], nums2: List[int]) -> List[int]:
        d = {x: i for i, x in enumerate(nums2)}
        return [d[x] for x in nums1]
