[LeetCode] Intersection of Two Arrays I & II

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

Given nums1 = [1, 2, 2, 1], nums2 = [2, 2], return [2].

Each element in the result must be unique.
The result can be in any order.

我觉得intersection是最没有意义的题目，不要求连续，也不是sorted，无趣。

public class Solution {
    public int[] intersection(int[] nums1, int[] nums2) {
        Map map = new HashMap();
        List res = new ArrayList();
        for (int i = 0; i < nums1.length; i++) {
            if (!map.containsKey(nums1[i])) map.put(nums1[i], 1);
            else map.put(nums1[i], map.get(nums1[i])+1);
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < nums2.length; i++) {
            if (map.containsKey(nums2[i])) {
                res.add(nums2[i]);
                map.remove(nums2[i]);
            }
        }
        int[] ans = new int[res.size()];
        for (int i = 0; i < ans.length; i++) ans[i] = res.get(i);
        return ans;
    }
}

class Solution {
    public int[] intersection(int[] nums1, int[] nums2) {
        Arrays.sort(nums1);
        Arrays.sort(nums2);
        Set set = new HashSet<>();
        int i = 0, j = 0;
        while (i < nums1.length && j < nums2.length) {
            if (nums1[i] < nums2[j]) i++;
            else if (nums1[i] > nums2[j]) j++;
            else {
                set.add(nums1[i]);
                i++;
                j++;
            }
        }
        int[] res = new int[set.size()];
        i = 0;
        for (Integer num: set) {
            res[i++] = num;
        }
        return res;
    }
}

class Solution {
    public int[] intersection(int[] nums1, int[] nums2) {
        Set record = new HashSet<>();
        Set intersect = new HashSet<>();
        for (int num: nums1) {
            record.add(num);
        }
        for (int num: nums2) {
            if (record.contains(num)) intersect.add(num);
        }
        int[] res = new int[intersect.size()];
        int i = 0;
        for (Integer num: intersect) {
            res[i++] = num;
        }
        return res;
    }
}

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

Given nums1 = [1, 2, 2, 1], nums2 = [2, 2], return [2, 2].

Each element in the result should appear as many times as it shows in both arrays.
The result can be in any order.

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?

If only nums2 cannot fit in memory, put all elements of nums1 into a HashMap, read chunks of array that fit into the memory, and record the intersections.
  
If both nums1 and nums2 are so huge that neither fit into the memory, sort them individually (external sort), then read 2 elements from each array at a time in memory, record intersections.
