88. Merge Sorted Array

Tags: ‘Array’, ‘Two Pointers’

Given two sorted integer arrays nums1 and nums2, merge nums2 into nums1 as one sorted array.

Note:

  • The number of elements initialized in nums1 and nums2 are m and n respectively.
  • You may assume that nums1 has enough space (size that is greater or equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from nums2.

Example:

Input:
nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3
nums2 = [2,5,6],       n = 3

Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]

Solution

方法1: 从后往前merge,可以避免用额外空间 做到O(1)

public void merge(int[] nums1, int m, int[] nums2, int n) {
    int i = m - 1, j = n - 1, p = m + n - 1;
    while (i >= 0 && j >= 0) {
        if (nums1[i] > nums2[j]) {
            nums1[p--] = nums1[i--];
        } else {
            nums1[p--] = nums2[j--];
        }
    }
    while (j >= 0) {
        nums1[p--] = nums2[j--];
    }
}
