Merge Sorted Array</a></h2><h3>Easy</h3><hr><p>You are given two integer arrays <code>nums1</code> and <code>nums2</code>, sorted in <strong>non-decreasing order</strong>, and two integers <code>m</code> and <code>n</code>, representing the number of elements in <code>nums1</code> and <code>nums2</code> respectively.</p> |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +<p><strong>Merge</strong> <code>nums1</code> and <code>nums2</code> into a single array sorted in <strong>non-decreasing order</strong>.</p> |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +<p>The final sorted array should not be returned by the function, but instead be <em>stored inside the array </em><code>nums1</code>. To accommodate this, <code>nums1</code> has a length of <code>m + n</code>, where the first <code>m</code> elements denote the elements that should be merged, and the last <code>n</code> elements are set to <code>0</code> and should be ignored. <code>nums2</code> has a length of <code>n</code>.</p> |

| 8 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p> |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +<pre> |
| 11 | +<strong>Input:</strong> nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3, nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3 |
| 12 | +<strong>Output:</strong> [1,2,2,3,5,6] |
| 13 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> The arrays we are merging are [1,2,3] and [2,5,6]. |
| 14 | +The result of the merge is [<u>1</u>,<u>2</u>,2,<u>3</u>,5,6] with the underlined elements coming from nums1. |
| 15 | +</pre> |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p> |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +<pre> |
| 20 | +<strong>Input:</strong> nums1 = [1], m = 1, nums2 = [], n = 0 |
| 21 | +<strong>Output:</strong> [1] |
| 22 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> The arrays we are merging are [1] and []. |
| 23 | +The result of the merge is [1]. |
| 24 | +</pre> |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p> |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +<pre> |
| 29 | +<strong>Input:</strong> nums1 = [0], m = 0, nums2 = [1], n = 1 |
| 30 | +<strong>Output:</strong> [1] |
| 31 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> The arrays we are merging are [] and [1]. |
| 32 | +The result of the merge is [1]. |
| 33 | +Note that because m = 0, there are no elements in nums1. The 0 is only there to ensure the merge result can fit in nums1. |

| 37 | +<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p> |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +<ul> |
| 40 | + <li><code>nums1.length == m + n</code></li> |

| 44 | + <li><code>-10<sup>9</sup> <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 10<sup>9</sup></code></li> |
| 45 | +</ul> |

| 48 | +<p><strong>Follow up: </strong>Can you come up with an algorithm that runs in <code>O(m + n)</code> time?</p> |
