Find K Pairs with Smallest Sums

Understand how to find the k pairs with the smallest sums from two sorted integer arrays. Explore the k-way merge algorithm to efficiently merge and select pairs, preparing you to solve similar coding interview problems confidently.

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),... ...
