Question

Given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, return an array of their intersection. Each element in the result must be unique and you may return the result in any order.

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

Input: nums1 = [4,9,5], nums2 = [9,4,9,8,4]
Output: [9,4]
Explanation: [4,9] is also accepted.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums1.length, nums2.length <= 1000
  • 0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 1000

Python Solution

class Solution:
    def intersection(self, nums1: List[int], nums2: List[int]) -> List[int]:
        nums1.sort()
        nums2.sort()

        i=j=0 
        res=[]
        while i<len(nums1) and j<(len(nums2)):
            if nums1[i]==nums2[j]:
                if nums1[i] not in res:
                    res.append(nums1[i])
                i+=1
                j+=1
            elif nums1[i] < nums2[j]:
                i+=1
            elif nums1[i] > nums2[j]:
                j+=1
        return (res)
