Merge two given sorted integer array A and B into a new sorted integer array. Example A=[1,2,3,4] B=[2,4,5,6] return [1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6] Challenge How can you optimize your algorithm if one array is very large and the other is very small?
此题要求返回新数组。由于可以生成新数组，故使用常规思路按顺序遍历即可。
C++：
class Solution { public: /** * @param A and B: sorted integer array A and B. * @return: A new sorted integer array */ vector<int> mergeSortedArray(vector<int> &A, vector<int> &B) { if (A.empty()) return B; if (B.empty()) return A; int aLen = A.size(), bLen = B.size(); vector<int> C; int i = 0, j = 0; while (i < aLen && j < bLen) { if (A[i] < B[j]) { C.push_back(A[i]); ++i; } else { C.push_back(B[j]); ++j; } } // A has elements left while (i < aLen) { C.push_back(A[i]); ++i; } // B has elements left while (j < bLen) { C.push_back(B[j]); ++j; } return C; } };
JAVA：
class Solution { /** * @param A and B: sorted integer array A and B. * @return: A new sorted integer array */ public ArrayList<Integer> mergeSortedArray(ArrayList<Integer> A, ArrayList<Integer> B) { if (A == null || A.isEmpty()) return B; if (B == null || B.isEmpty()) return A; ArrayList<Integer> C = new ArrayList<Integer>(); int aLen = A.size(), bLen = B.size(); int i = 0, j = 0; while (i < aLen && j < bLen) { if (A.get(i) < B.get(j)) { C.add(A.get(i)); i++; } else { C.add(B.get(j)); j++; } } // A has elements left while (i < aLen) { C.add(A.get(i)); i++; } // B has elements left while (j < bLen) { C.add(B.get(j)); j++; } return C; } }
源码分析
分三步走，后面分别单独处理剩余的元素。
复杂度分析
遍历 A, B 数组各一次，时间复杂度 O(n), 空间复杂度 O(1).
Challenge
两个倒排列表，一个特别大，一个特别小，如何 Merge？此时应该考虑用一个二分法插入小的，即内存拷贝。
