Merge sorted array
Given two sorted integer arrays A and B, merge B into A as one sorted array.
You may assume that A has enough space (size that is greater or equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from B. The number of elements initialized in A and B are m and n respectively.Have you met this question in a real interview? Yes
Example
A = [1, 2, 3, empty, empty]
, B = [4, 5]
After merge, A will be filled as [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
由于合并后A数组的大小必定是m+n,所以从最后面开始往前赋值,先比较A和B中最后一个元素的大小,把较大的那个插入到m+n-1的位置上,再依次向前推。如果A中所有的元素都比B小,那么前m个还是A原来的内容,没有改变。如果A中的数组比B大的,当A循环完了,B中还有元素没加入A,直接用个循环把B中所有的元素覆盖到A剩下的位置。
