Median of Two Sorted Arrays
Given two sorted arrays A
and B
of sizes N
and M
, find the median of the merged array formed by combining arrays A
and B
. If the total number of elements, N + M
, is even, the median will be the mean of the two middle elements.
Input:
The first line of input contains an integer 'T' representing the number of test cases.
Each test case contains:
- Two space-separated integers 'N' and 'M' denoting the sizes of arrays 'A' and 'B'.
- A line with 'N' space-separated integers representing the elements of array 'A'.
- A line with 'M' space-separated integers representing the elements of array 'B'.
Output:
For each test case, output a single line with a number representing the median of the combined array. Each test case output should be on a new line.
Example:
Input:
A = {2, 4, 6, 8} and B = {1, 3, 5, 7}.
The merged array is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
Since the total number of elements is even, the medians are 4 and 5.
Thus, the median is the mean of 4 and 5, which is 4.5.
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 10
1 <= N <= 10^6
1 <= M <= 10^6
1 <= A[i] <= 10^9
1 <= B[i] <= 10^9
- Time limit: 1 sec.
Note:
You do not need to print anything manually; just implement the function to return the result.
