Leetcode Intersection of Two Arrays II problem solution

In this Leetcode Intersection of Two Arrays II problem solution you have given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, return an array of their intersection. Each element in the result must appear as many times as it shows in both arrays and you may return the result in any order.

Problem solution in Python.

class Solution:
    def intersect(self, nums1: List[int], nums2: List[int]) -> List[int]:
        output = []
        for x in nums1:
            if x in nums2:
                output.append(x)
                nums2.remove(x)
        return output

Problem solution in Java.

public class Solution {
    public int[] intersect(int[] nums1, int[] nums2) {
        if (nums1.length == 0 || nums2.length == 0) {
            return new int[]{};
        }
        HashMap<Integer, Integer> hMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
        int i;
        int value;
        for(i = 0; i < nums1.length; i++) {
            value = hMap.containsKey(nums1[i]) ? hMap.get(nums1[i])+1 : 1;
            hMap.put(nums1[i], value);
        }
        int size = nums1.length > nums2.length ? nums2.length : nums1.length;
        int[] intersection = new int[size];
        int j = 0;
        for(i = 0; i < nums2.length; i++) {
            value = hMap.containsKey(nums2[i]) ? hMap.get(nums2[i]) : 0; 
            if (value > 0) {
               intersection[j++] = nums2[i];
               hMap.put(nums2[i], value-1);
            }
        }
        int[] result = new int[j];
        for (i = 0; i < j; i++) {
            result[i] = intersection[i];
        }
        return result;
    }
