Suppose Andy and Doris want to choose a restaurant for dinner, and they both have a list of favorite restaurants represented by strings.
You need to help them find out their common interest with the least list index sum. If there is a choice tie between answers, output all of them with no order requirement. You could assume there always exists an answer.
Example 1:
Input: ["Shogun", "Tapioca Express", "Burger King", "KFC"] ["Piatti", "The Grill at Torrey Pines", "Hungry Hunter Steakhouse", "Shogun"] Output: ["Shogun"] Explanation: The only restaurant they both like is "Shogun".
Example 2:
Input: ["Shogun", "Tapioca Express", "Burger King", "KFC"] ["KFC", "Shogun", "Burger King"] Output: ["Shogun"] Explanation: The restaurant they both like and have the least index sum is "Shogun" with index sum 1 (0+1).
Note:
- The length of both lists will be in the range of [1, 1000].
- The length of strings in both lists will be in the range of [1, 30].
- The index is starting from 0 to the list length minus 1.
- No duplicates in both lists.
