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) {
std::sort(nums1.begin(), nums1.end());
std::sort(nums2.begin(), nums2.end());
std::vector<int> vec;
int i1 = 0;
int i2 = 0;
while (i1 < nums1.size() && i2 < nums2.size())
{
if (nums1[i1] < nums2[i2]) {
i1++;
} else if (nums1[i1] > nums2[i2]) {
i2++;
} else {
vec.push_back(nums1[i1]);
i1++;
i2++;
}
}
return vec;
}
};
