Merge Sorted Array

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 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]

Constraints:

  • -10^9 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 10^9

  • nums1.length == m + n

  • nums2.length == n

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