Find K Pairs with Smallest Sums

Explore how to identify k pairs with the smallest sums from two sorted integer arrays. Learn to apply k-way merge techniques and efficient algorithms to solve this problem, preparing you to implement and optimize solutions for coding interviews.

Statement

You are given two integer arrays, list1 and list2, sorted in non-decreasing order, and an integer, k.

A pair (u, v)(u, \space v) is defined as one element uu chosen from list1 and one element vv chosen from list2.

Your task is to return the k pairs (u1, v1),(u2, v2),... ...
