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 vector nums

  • dotProduct(vec) Compute the dot product between the instance of SparseVector and vec

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 = 8

Example 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 = 0

Example 3:

Constraints:

  • n == nums1.length == nums2.length

  • 1 <= n <= 10^5

  • 0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 100
