Minimum Index Sum of Two Lists
Problem
Suppose Andy and Doris want to choose a restaurant for dinner, and they both have a list of favorite restaurants represented by strings.
You need to help them find out their common interest with the least list index sum. If there is a choice tie between answers, output all of them with no order requirement. You could assume there always exists an answer.

5
Input:
["Shogun", "Tapioca Express", "Burger King", "KFC"]
["Piatti", "The Grill at Torrey Pines", "Hungry Hunter Steakhouse", "Shogun"]
Output: ["Shogun"]
Explanation: The only restaurant they both like is "Shogun".
Example 2

4
5
Input:
["Shogun", "Tapioca Express", "Burger King", "KFC"]
["KFC", "Shogun", "Burger King"]
Output: ["Shogun"]
Explanation: The restaurant they both like and have the least index sum is "Shogun" with index sum 1 (0+1).
Note
- The length of both lists will be in the rang of [1,1000].
- The length of strings in both lists will be in the range of [1,30].
- The index is starting from 0 to the list length minus 1.
- No duplicates in both lists
My Answer
HashMap을 이용하자.list1을 순회하면서HashMap의 키로list1[i]를 넣고 값으로 index(i)를 넣자.list2를 순회하면서,HashMap에list2[i]가 키로 있는것만 확인하면된다.HashMap의 값 +i가Sum이 되고,최소Sum과 비교 하자.- 만약
최소Sum보다Sum이 작다면,최소Sum을 만족하는 값의 갯수를 1로 초기화. - 만약
최소Sum과Sum이 같다면,최소Sum을 만족하는 값의 갯수를 1증가. - 위의 2가지 경우에 대해서,
list1[최소Sum을 만족하는 값의 갯수-1]에list2[i]를 할당하자. 차후에 결과 배열로 옮기기 위한 사전단계이다. 위 예제2는 다음과 같은 흐름으로 진행 된다.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
list1=["Shogun", "Tapioca Express", "Burger King", "KFC"] list2=["KFC", "Shogun", "Burger King"] 1: curr = list2[0] = KFC sum = HashMap[KFC] + 0 = 3 + 0 = 3 min_sum > sum min_sum_count=1, list1[min_sum_count-1] = list1[0] = KFC 2: curr = list2[1] = Shogun sum = HashMap[Shogun] + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1 min_sum > sum min_sum_count=1, list1[min_sum_count-1] = list1[0] = Shogun 3: curr = list2[2] = Burger King sum = HashMap[Burger King] + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4 min_sum < sum result = list1[0~min_sum_count-1] = list1[0] = [Shogun]
list2의 순회가 끝나면,list1[0 ~ 최소Sum을 만족하는 값의 갯수-1]가 정답이다. 따라서 결과배열로 옮겨주자.
