Question

C++. Please leave comments explaining. Thank you!

Given two unsorted STL lists X and P , write a valid C++ function intersection( X , P ) that returns a new list that contains the elements common to both X and P .

For example, if X = 5, 2, 1, 4 and P = 4, 5, 7; your algorithm should return a new list containing 5 and 4 (order is not important).

Also specify the running time of your algorithm using Big-Oh notation. Hint: As the lists are unsorted, a straightforward algorithm would need a double for loop.

Explanation / Answer

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

list<int> intersection(list<int>& x,list<int>& p)
{
  
list<int> r;
for (std::list<int>::iterator it = x.begin(); it != x.end(); it++)
{
   for (std::list<int>::iterator it1= p.begin(); it1 != p.end(); it1++)
   {
       if(*it==*it1)
           r.push_back(*it);

   }
}
   return r;

}

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
   list<int> x;
   x.push_back(1);
   x.push_back(3);
   x.push_back(2);

   list<int> p;
   p.push_back(1);
   p.push_back(3);
  

   list<int> r=intersection(x,p);

   for (std::list<int>::iterator it = r.begin(); it != r.end(); it++)
{
cout<<*it<<" ";
}
   return 0;
}
