AP-1 > commonTwo
prev  |  next  |  chance

Start with two arrays of strings, a and b, each in alphabetical order, possibly with duplicates. Return the count of the number of strings which appear in both arrays. The best "linear" solution makes a single pass over both arrays, taking advantage of the fact that they are in alphabetical order.


commonTwo(["a", "c", "x"], ["b", "c", "d", "x"]) → 2
commonTwo(["a", "c", "x"], ["a", "b", "c", "x", "z"]) → 3
commonTwo(["a", "b", "c"], ["a", "b", "c"]) → 3

...Save, Compile, Run (ctrl-enter)

public int commonTwo(String[] a, String[] b) { }
