Efficient Approach: The problem can be solved efficiently using Hashing (unordered_map),

Use hashing to count the frequency of each element of both arrays. Then traverse through the hashtables of the arrays and match the frequencies of the elements.

Follow the below mentioned steps to solve the problem:

Check if the length of both the arrays are equal or not
Create an unordered map and store all elements and frequency of elements of arr1[] in the map.
Traverse over arr2[] and check if count of each and every element in arr2[] matches with the count in arr1[]. This can be done by decrementing the frequency while traversing in arr2[].

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

// C++ program to implement the approach

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to check if both arrays are equal
bool checkArrays(int arr1[], int arr2[],
int n, int m)
{
// If lengths of arrays are not equal
if (n != m)
return false;

// Store arr1[] elements and
// their frequencies in hash map
unordered_map<int, int> mp;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)

mp[arr1[i]]++;

// Traverse arr2[] elements and
// check if all elements of arr2[] are
// present same number of times or not.
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

// If there is an element in arr2[],
// but not in arr1[]
if (mp.find(arr2[i]) == mp.end())
return false;

// If an element of arr2[] appears
// more times than it appears in arr1[]
if (mp[arr2[i]] == 0)
return false;

// Decrease the count of arr2 elements
// in the unordered map
mp[arr2[i]]--;
}
return true;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
int arr1[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int arr2[] = { 4, 3, 1, 5, 2 };
int N = sizeof(arr1) / sizeof(int);
int M = sizeof(arr2) / sizeof(int);

// Function call
if (checkArrays(arr1, arr2, N, M))
cout << "Equal";
else
cout << "Not Equal";
return 0;
}
