Find K Pairs with Smallest Sums

Explore how to identify the k pairs with the smallest sums from two sorted integer arrays. This lesson helps you understand and implement the K-way merge technique for efficient sorting and retrieval, enhancing your problem-solving skills 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),... ...
