Mice and Cheese

Problem Statement

There are two mice and n different types of cheese, each type of cheese should be eaten by exactly one mouse.

A point of the cheese with index i ( 0-indexed ) is:

reward1[i] if the first mouse eats it.

reward2[i] if the second mouse eats it.

You are given a positive integer array reward1 , a positive integer array reward2 , and a non-negative integer k .

Return the maximum points the mice can achieve if the first mouse eats exactly k types of cheese.

Examples

Example 1
Input: reward1 = [1,1,3,4], reward2 = [4,4,1,1], k = 2
Output: 15
In this example, the first mouse eats the 2 ^nd (0-indexed) and the 3 ^rd types of cheese, and the second mouse eats the 0 ^th and the 1 ^st types of cheese. The total points are 4 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 15. It can be proven that 15 is the maximum total points that the mice can achieve.
Example 2
Input: reward1 = [1,1], reward2 = [1,1], k = 2
Output: 2
In this example, the first mouse eats the 0 ^th (0-indexed) and 1 ^st types of cheese, and the second mouse does not eat any cheese. The total points are 1 + 1 = 2. It can be proven that 2 is the maximum total points that the mice can achieve.

Constraints

1 <= n == reward1.length == reward2.length <= 10 ^5
1 <= reward1[i], reward2[i] <= 1000
0 <= k <= n
