Easy
Given two integer arrays nums1
and nums2
, sorted in non-decreasing order, return the minimum integer common to both arrays. If there is no common integer amongst nums1
and nums2
, return -1
.
Note that an integer is said to be common to nums1
and nums2
if both arrays have at least one occurrence of that integer.
Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,2,3], nums2 = [2,4]
Output: 2
Explanation: The smallest element common to both arrays is 2, so we return 2.
Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [1,2,3,6], nums2 = [2,3,4,5]
Output: 2
Explanation: There are two common elements in the array 2 and 3 out of which 2 is the smallest, so 2 is returned.
Constraints:
1 <= nums1.length, nums2.length <= 105
1 <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 109
nums1
and nums2
are sorted in non-decreasing order.class Solution {
fun getCommon(nums1: IntArray, nums2: IntArray): Int {
var i = 0
var j = 0
if (nums1[0] > nums2[nums2.size - 1] || nums1[nums1.size - 1] < nums2[0]) {
return -1
}
while (i < nums1.size && j < nums2.size) {
if (nums1[i] == nums2[j]) {
return nums1[i]
}
if (nums1[i] > nums2[j]) {
j++
} else {
i++
}
}
return -1
}
}
