wk5 350. Intersection of Two Arrays II

Given two arrays, write a function to compute their intersection.

Example:
Given nums1 = [1, 2, 2, 1], nums2 = [2, 2], return [2, 2].

Note:

• Each element in the result should appear as many times as it shows in both arrays.
• The result can be in any order.

Follow up:

• What if the given array is already sorted? How would you optimize your algorithm?
• What if nums1's size is small compared to nums2's size? Which algorithm is better?

• What if elements of nums2 are stored on disk, and the memory is limited such that you cannot load all elements into the memory at once?

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
        vector<int> ans;
        sort(nums1.begin(), nums1.end());
        sort(nums2.begin(), nums2.end());
        int i=0, j=0;
        int size1=nums1.size(), size2=nums2.size();
        while(i<size1 && j<size2){
            if(nums1[i]==nums2[j]){
                ans.push_back(nums1[i]);
                i++;
                j++;
            }
            else if(nums1[i]>nums2[j]) j++;
            else i++;
        }
        return ans;
    }
};

将两个数组从小到大排序，再遍历寻找交集。
