Given two sorted integer arrays A and B, merge B into A as one sorted array.
Note:
You may assume that A has enough space (size that is greater or equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from B. The number of elements initialized in A and B are m and n respectively.
Merge element into the length (m+n) of array A.
public void merge(int A[], int m, int B[], int n) {
//merged array index
int k = m+n-1;
//A index
int i = m-1;
//B index
int j = n-1;
//the idea behind is merge from the end elements of two arrays;
while (i>=0 && j>=0) {
if (A[i]>=B[j]) {
A[k--] = A[i--];
} else {
A[k--] = B[j--];
}
}
//A won't have left over, either element's in A is already in array A or B has left over need to merge into A
//A[1,2,3, , ,] B[7,8,9] -> [1,2,3,7,8,9]
//A[7,8,9, , ,] B[1,2,3] -> [7,8,9,7,8,9]
while (j>=0) {
A[k--] = B[j--];
}
}
