88. 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 greater or equal to _m_ + _n_) to hold additional elements from nums2.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
Input:
nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3
nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3

Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]

Code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
