Given two sorted arrays of sizes N,M (N > M).
N has M gaps even though it is sorted. (gaps can be in between . Not required to be at the end).
Best algorithm to merge these two arrays , with out using any extra space.
Suppose we have 2 arrays:
char [] A = {'a',' ','c','e',' ', ' ', 'g',' ','j', ' '};
char [] B = { 'b','d','f','h','i'};
Let's space char be the gap mentioned in the above question.
Now first iterate through the Array A and shift all the non-space chars to the left.
Then merge 2 arrays A and B by comparing the elements and filling Array A from the end.
output:
Length A:10
Length B:5
Starting array A printing:
a b c d e f g h i j
