Sure... if memory is so tight that you have to choose an O(n * m) time complexity over O(n + m) then I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

Of course, in that case (and especially if this is a routine task) you are almost certainly going to win by throwing more RAM at the problem because the larger your dataset the more (time) you are saving with the linear algorithm.

Update: Also note that the additional memory you need will be relative to the smaller of your two arrays. (As a possible optimization depending, of course, on your data.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
