Merge two sorted Array

ZeeshanAli-0704 - Oct 11 '22 - - Dev Community

You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, sorted in non-decreasing order, and two integers m and n, representing the number of elements in nums1 and nums2 respectively.

Merge nums1 and nums2 into a single array sorted in non-decreasing order.

The final sorted array should not be returned by the function, but instead be stored inside the array nums1. To accommodate this, nums1 has a length of m + n, where the first m elements denote the elements that should be merged, and the last n elements are set to 0 and should be ignored. nums2 has a length of n.

Example 1:

Input: nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3, nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3
Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]
Explanation: The arrays we are merging are [1,2,3] and [2,5,6].
The result of the merge is [1,2,2,3,5,6] with the underlined elements coming from nums1.

/**
 * @param {number[]} nums1
 * @param {number} m
 * @param {number[]} nums2
 * @param {number} n
 * @return {void} Do not return anything, modify nums1 in-place instead.
 */
var merge = function (nums1, m, nums2, n) {
  if (m != 0) {
    nums1.splice(m, nums1.length - m);
  }

  if (n != 0) {
    nums2.splice(n, nums2.length - n);
  }

  m == 0 && nums1.length >= 1 ? (nums1.length = 0) : null;
  n == 0 && nums2.length >= 1 ? (nums2.length = 0) : null;

  nums2.forEach((num) => nums1.push(num));
  nums1.sort((a, b) => a - b);
};
