1570. Dot Product of Two Sparse Vectors
1 min readJun 8, 2022
Given two sparse vectors, compute their dot product.
Implement class SparseVector
:
SparseVector(nums)
Initializes the object with the vectornums
dotProduct(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 = 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:
Input: nums1 = [0,1,0,0,2,0,0], nums2 = [1,0,0,0,3,0,4]
Output: 6
Constraints:
n == nums1.length == nums2.length
1 <= n <= 10^5
0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 100
