HackerEarth Number of steps problem solution

In this HackerEarth Maximum borders problem solution you are given two arrays a1, a2,…, an and b1,b2,…,bn. In each step, you can set ai = ai – bi if ai >= bi. Determine the minimum number of steps that are required to make all are equal.

Input format

First line: n

Second line: a1, a2,…an

Third line: b1, b2,…, bn
