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.
Solution
Idea: hash table O(m + n) Space: O(m + n)
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
vector<int> ret;
unordered_map<int,int> h;
for(int i=0; i<nums1.size();i++)
++h[nums1[i]];
for(int j=0; j<nums2.size();j++){
if(h[nums2[j]]>0){
ret.push_back(nums2[j]);
h[nums2[j]]--;
}
}
return ret;
}
};
Solution: O(max(m, n) log(max(m, n))) Space: O(m + n)
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
vector<int> ret;
sort(nums1.begin(), nums1.end());
sort(nums2.begin(), nums2.end());
int i = 0,j = 0;
while (i<nums1.size() && j<nums2.size()){
if (nums1[i]==nums2[j]){
ret.push_back(nums1[i]);
i++;
j++;
}
else if (nums1[i]>nums2[j]) j++;
else i++;
}
return ret;
}
};
