Minimum Index Sum of Two Lists

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 :

Input: list1 = ["Shogun","Tapioca Express","Burger King","KFC"], list2 = ["Piatti","The Grill at Torrey Pines","Hungry Hunter Steakhouse","Shogun"]
Output: ["Shogun"]
Explanation: The only restaurant they both like is "Shogun".

Approach:

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

vector<stringfindRestaurant(vector<string&list1,
                              vector<string&list2)
{
    vector<stringrestaurants;
    unordered_map<stringintrestaurantsList;

    for (int i = 0i < list1.size(); i++)
        restaurantsList[list1.at(i)] = i;

    int minIndex = INT_MAX;
    for (int i = 0i < list2.size(); i++)
    {
        if (restaurantsList.find(list2.at(i)) !=
 restaurantsList.end())
        {
            if (minIndex > i + restaurantsList.at(list2.at(i)))
            {
                minIndex = i + restaurantsList.at(list2.at(i));

                restaurants.clear();
                restaurants.push_back(list2.at(i));
            }

            else if (minIndex == i + 
restaurantsList.at(list2.at(i)))
            {
                restaurants.push_back(list2.at(i));
            }
        }
    }

    return restaurants;
}

int main()
{
    vector<stringlist1 = {"Shogun""Tapioca Express",
                            "Burger King""KFC"};
    vector<stringlist2 = {"Piatti""The Grill at Torrey Pines",
                            "Hungry Hunter Steakhouse""Shogun"};

    vector<stringres = findRestaurant(list1list2);

    cout << "[";

    for (int i = 0i < res.size(); i++)
    {
        cout << res[i];
        if (i != res.size() - 1)
            cout << ",";
    }
    cout << "]";

    return 0;
}
