Problem: Merge Sorted Array

Posted by Marcy on February 18, 2015

Question

Given two sorted integer arrays nums1 and nums2, merge nums2 into nums1 as one sorted array.

Note: You may assume that nums1 has enough space (size that is greater or equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from nums2. The number of elements initialized in nums1 and nums2 are m and n respectively.

Solution

Code

class Solution {
    public void merge(int[] nums1, int m, int[] nums2, int n) {
        int sIndex = m + n - 1;
        int mIndex = m-1;
        int nIndex = n-1;

        for(int i=sIndex; i>=0; i--) {
            if(mIndex < 0) nums1[sIndex--] = nums2[nIndex--]; 
            else if(nIndex < 0) nums1[sIndex--] = nums1[mIndex--]; 
            else if(nums1[mIndex] > nums2[nIndex]) nums1[sIndex--] = nums1[mIndex--]; 
            else nums1[sIndex--] = nums2[nIndex--];  
        }
    }
}
