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?
解答:
被分类到了Sort的题目,看标签和Binary Search, Hash Table, Two Pointers都有关。
刚开始学Hash Table,解答来自Discuss:
m: nums1.size n: nums2.size
Hash table solution:
Time: O(m + n) Space: O(m + n)
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
unordered_map<int, int> dict;
vector<int> res;
for(int i = 0; i < (int)nums1.size(); i++) dict[nums1[i]]++;
for(int i = 0; i < (int)nums2.size(); i++)
if(--dict[nums2[i]] >= 0) res.push_back(nums2[i]);
return res;
}
};
Hash table solution2:
Time: O(m + n) Space: O(m)
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
unordered_map<int, int> dict;
vector<int> res;
for(int i = 0; i < (int)nums1.size(); i++) dict[nums1[i]]++;
for(int i = 0; i < (int)nums2.size(); i++)
if(dict.find(nums2[i]) != dict.end() && --dict[nums2[i]] >= 0) res.push_back(nums2[i]);
return res;
}
};
Sort and two pointers Solution:
Time: O(max(m, n) log(max(m, n))) Space: O(m + n)
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
sort(nums1.begin(), nums1.end());
sort(nums2.begin(), nums2.end());
int n1 = (int)nums1.size(), n2 = (int)nums2.size();
int i1 = 0, i2 = 0;
vector<int> res;
while(i1 < n1 && i2 < n2){
if(nums1[i1] == nums2[i2]) {
res.push_back(nums1[i1]);
i1++;
i2++;
}
else if(nums1[i1] > nums2[i2]){
i2++;
}
else{
i1++;
}
}
return res;
}
};
还有一种解答用了set_intersection():class Solution {
public:
vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
sort(nums1.begin(), nums1.end());
sort(nums2.begin(), nums2.end());
nums1.erase(set_intersection(nums1.begin(), nums1.end(), nums2.begin(), nums2.end(), nums1.begin()), nums1.end());//利用了set_intersection(),是std::set
return nums1;
}
};
这里补一下set_intersection这个函数,下面的代码描述了它的行为:
template <class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class OutputIterator>
OutputIterator set_intersection (InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1,
InputIterator2 first2, InputIterator2 last2,
OutputIterator result)
{
while (first1!=last1 && first2!=last2)
{
if (*first1<*first2) ++first1;
else if (*first2<*first1) ++first2;
else {
*result = *first1;
++result; ++first1; ++first2;
}
}
return result;
}
可见,最后第5个参数,也就是这里的nums1.begin()指向的是[2,2,0,0,0,0]的第一个0。
