def stable_matching(

) -> list[int]:
    """
    Finds the stable match in any bipartite graph, i.e a pairing where no 2 objects
    prefer each other over their partner.  The function accepts the preferences of
    oegan donors and recipients (where both are assigned numbers from 0 to n-1) and
    returns a list where the index position corresponds to the donor and value at the
    index is the organ recipient.
