Sparse Matrix Multiplication

要点：

• 用hashmap与brute force的不同：显然brute force是O(mnk)，因为是稀疏矩阵，所以用了hashmap可以把k降到很小。
• 最终的计算还是2d loop m和n，只是loop k时候，变成找对应n的list，而不用所有k个。所以Bmap[n][k]。
• (optional) 当然，这题也不一定用hashmap，可以内层loop k，因为k中非available的元素对应的j循环都被过滤掉了，所以实际上*n的数量只有available的k。所以复杂度是类似的。最内层j的循环实际上是分别累加到m[i][j]上。https://discuss.leetcode.com/topic/40297/is-there-a-real-need-of-a-hashmap-for-this-problem/2

错误点：

• 构建Bmap的时候，用虽然Bmap为[n][k]，对应的B[k][n]
• 和m/n的长度无关，所以没有优化

# Given two sparse matrices A and B, return the result of AB.

# You may assume that A's column number is equal to B's row number.

# Example:

# A = [
#   [ 1, 0, 0],
#   [-1, 0, 3]
# ]

# B = [
#   [ 7, 0, 0 ],
#   [ 0, 0, 0 ],
#   [ 0, 0, 1 ]
# ]


#      |  1 0 0 |   | 7 0 0 |   |  7 0 0 |
# AB = | -1 0 3 | x | 0 0 0 | = | -7 0 3 |
#                   | 0 0 1 |
