Description
Given two arrays, write a function to compute their intersection.
Each element in the result should appear as many times as it shows in both arrays.The result can be in any order.
Example
Example1
Input:
nums1 = [1, 2, 2, 1], nums2 = [2, 2]
Output:
[2, 2]
Example2
Input:
nums1 = [1, 1, 2], nums2 = [1]
Output:
[1]
Challenge
- What if the given array is already sorted? How would you optimize your algorithm?
- What if nums1’s size is small compared to num2’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?
