Problem: Merge Sorted Array

Easy

15 min

Explore how to merge two sorted arrays, nums1 and nums2, into a single sorted array using the k-way merge technique. Understand the constraints and steps to integrate the second array into the first, optimizing for coding interviews. This lesson improves your ability to handle sorted array problems by learning a common pattern used in algorithm challenges.

Statement

You are given two integer arrays, nums1 and nums2, both sorted in non-decreasing order. You are also given two integers, m and n, representing the number of elements in nums1 and nums2, respectively.

Your task is to merge the elements of nums2 into nums1 so that nums1 becomes a single array sorted in non-decreasing order.

The merged result is stored in nums1, which has a total length of m + n. The first m positions contain the initial elements, the last n positions are placeholders (initialized to 0), and nums2 contains the n elements to merge.
