1570. Dot Product of Two Sparse Vectors
https://leetcode.com/problems/dot-product-of-two-sparse-vectors
Description
Given two sparse vectors, compute their dot product.
Implement class SparseVector:
SparseVector(nums)Initializes the object with the vectornumsdotProduct(vec)Compute the dot product between the instance of SparseVector andvec
A sparse vector is a vector that has mostly zero values, you should store the sparse vector efficiently and compute the dot product between two SparseVector.
**Follow up:**What if only one of the vectors is sparse?
Example 1:
**Input:** nums1 = [1,0,0,2,3], nums2 = [0,3,0,4,0]
**Output:** 8
**Explanation:** v1 = SparseVector(nums1) , v2 = SparseVector(nums2)
v1.dotProduct(v2) = 1*0 + 0*3 + 0*0 + 2*4 + 3*0 = 8Example 2:
**Input:** nums1 = [0,1,0,0,0], nums2 = [0,0,0,0,2]
**Output:** 0
**Explanation:** v1 = SparseVector(nums1) , v2 = SparseVector(nums2)
v1.dotProduct(v2) = 0*0 + 1*0 + 0*0 + 0*0 + 0*2 = 0Example 3:
**Input:** nums1 = [0,1,0,0,2,0,0], nums2 = [1,0,0,0,3,0,4]
**Output:** 6Constraints:
n == nums1.length == nums2.length1 <= n <= 10^50 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 100

// Your SparseVector object will be instantiated and called as such:
// SparseVector v1 = new SparseVector(nums1);
// SparseVector v2 = new SparseVector(nums2);
