760 Find Anagram Mappings

Given two listsAandB, andBis an anagram ofA.Bis an anagram ofAmeansBis made by randomizing the order of the elements inA.
We want to find anindex mappingP, fromAtoB. A mappingP[i] = jmeans theith element inAappears inBat indexj.
These listsAandBmay contain duplicates. If there are multiple answers, output any of them.
For example, given
A = [12, 28, 46, 32, 50]
B = [50, 12, 32, 46, 28]
We should return
[1, 4, 3, 2, 0]
as P[0] = 1 because the 0th element of A appears at B[1], and P[1] = 4 because the 1st element of A appears at B[4], and so on.
Note: 
1.A, B have equal lengths in range [1, 100].
2.A[i], B[i] are integers in range [0, 10^5].
The Idea: Map the indices of B into a list. Then iterate through A and build a new list P that take the corresponding index of B that is mapped from a key of A. We solve the problem of duplicates by mapping to a list of elements, and simply taking the last one (as order does not pattern).
