    Problem

    You are given an array of distinct integers arr and an array of integer arrays pieces, where the integers in pieces are distinct. Your goal is to form arr by concatenating the arrays in pieces in any order. However, you are not allowed to reorder the integers in each array pieces[i].

    Return true **if it is possible ****to form the array *arr* from **pieces. Otherwise, return false.

      Example 1:

    Input: arr = [15,88], pieces = [[88],[15]]
    Output: true
    Explanation: Concatenate [15] then [88]
    

    Example 2:

    Input: arr = [49,18,16], pieces = [[16,18,49]]
    Output: false
    Explanation: Even though the numbers match, we cannot reorder pieces[0].
    

    Example 3:

    Input: arr = [91,4,64,78], pieces = [[78],[4,64],[91]]
    Output: true
    Explanation: Concatenate [91] then [4,64] then [78]

    Solution (Java)

    class Solution {
        public boolean canFormArray(int[] arr, int[][] pieces) {
            for (int[] piece : pieces) {
                int first = piece[0];
                int index = findIndex(arr, first);
                if (index == -1) {
                    return false;
                }
                int i = 0;
                for (int j = index; i < piece.length && j < arr.length; i++, j++) {
                    if (arr[j] != piece[i]) {
                        return false;
                    }
                }
                if (i != piece.length) {
                    return false;
                }
            }
            return true;
        }
    
        private int findIndex(int[] arr, int key) {
            for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
                if (arr[i] == key) {
                    return i;
                }
            }
            return -1;
        }
    }
