# Minimum Index Sum of Two Lists

<https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-index-sum-of-two-lists/description/>

> 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.

## Thoughts

想找出相同的string并且加起来index最小。找是否用共同元素想到hash set/table, 又因为要记录index，于是用map.

## Code

```
class Solution {
    public String[] findRestaurant(String[] list1, String[] list2) {
        Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < list1.length; i++) {
            map.put(list1[i], i);
        }

        int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        List<String> set = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < list2.length; i++) {
            if (map.containsKey(list2[i])) {
                if (i + map.get(list2[i]) < min) {
                    set.clear();
                    set.add(list2[i]);
                    min = i + map.get(list2[i]);
                } else if (i + map.get(list2[i]) == min) {
                    set.add(list2[i]);
                }
            }
        }

        String[] result = new String[set.size()];
        for (int i = 0; i < set.size(); i++) {
            result[i] = set.get(i);
        }
        return result;
    }
}
```

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://hao-fu-1.gitbook.io/oj/hash/overlapping/minimum-index-sum-of-two-lists.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
