### Problem
Given two integer arrays `nums1` and `nums2`, return _an array of their intersection_. Each element in the result must appear as many times as it shows in both arrays and you may return the result 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?
#### Examples
**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]
**Explanation:** [9,4] is also accepted.
```
#### Constraints
- 1 <= nums1.length, nums2.length <= 1000
- 0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 1000
### Thoughts
For the original problem, I thought up an O(m + n) algo, that uses C++'s [[cpp_std_unordered_map]], and for the second one, I use double pointer method.
> [!tip]
> Because elements can be duplicated and we need to know how many, we should use unordered map to store the item's appereance times, (Maybe multiset can work too.)
> [!tip] Use [[cpp_std_unordered_map]] for a O(1) hash table when not sorted #tip
> [!tip] Use [[cpp_std_sort]] to sort anything. #tip
### Solution
Unordered map way O(m + n)
```cpp
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> intersect(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
vector<int> answer;
unordered_map<int, int> umap;
for (int i = 0; i < nums1.size(); i++) {
umap[nums1[i]]++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < nums2.size(); i++) {
if (umap[nums2[i]] != 0) {
answer.push_back(nums2[i]);
umap[nums2[i]]--;
}
}
return answer;
}
};
```
