Suppose there is an array, A
, which can be sorted if that information helps.
We have multiple arrays, B
, C
, D
, etc., all sortable and potentially overlapping with array A
.
The objective is to identify the smallest combination of arrays B
, C
, D
, etc., which completely overlap with array A
. The function should return the first matching set.
For example:
const A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 'a', 'b', 'c'];
const B = [1, 3, 4, 5, 10];
const C = [1, 3, 5, 'a', 'b']
const D = [2, 4, 'a', 'b', 'c'];
const E = [1, 2, 'b', 'c']
findSmallestSet(A, [B, C, D, E]);
// => [B, D]
Note: Initially, the problem was about identifying node trees fully encompassing a target node tree. However, this simplified version might offer a more straightforward solution.
