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

Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,2,2,1], nums2 = [2,2]
Output: [2,2]

Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [4,9,5], nums2 = [9,4,9,8,4]
Output: [4,9]

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?

To compute the intersection of two arrays, we can use a hash map to record the number of times that each element appears in the first array. This takes O(N) time and O(N) space complexity.

Once we have recorded the elements in the HashMap, we can iterate over the second array, and check if the number corresponding to the hashmap. We need to push the element to the result array and decrement the counter. If the counter for the element becomes zero, we don’t count it as intersection.

How to compute the Array intersection in C++?

In C++, we use unordered_map to declare a hash map. We use find to check if an element appears in the hash map.

How to get array intersection in Java?

Unfortunately, Java is a bit verbose. To convert a List of integers to Array, we need to use the following:

1

list.stream().mapToInt(Integer::intValue).toArray();
list.stream().mapToInt(Integer::intValue).toArray();

The following Java implementation is based on the same algorithm.

var intersect = function(nums1, nums2) {
