Cpp program to merge two sorted arrays using function


Write a cpp program to merge two sorted arrays (one in ascending and other in descending order) using function 

Solution

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void Merge(int[],int,int[],int,int[]);
int main()
{
    int arr1[50],arr2[50],rslt[50],m,n,rslt_size,i;
    cout<<"Desired size of first array ";
    cin>>m;
    cout<<"Enter the elements in the first array (ascending order)"<<endl;
    for(i=0;i<m;i++)
    {
        cin>>arr1[i];
    }
    cout<<"Desired size of second array ";
    cin>>n;
    cout<<"Enter the elements in the second array (descending order)"<<endl;
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        cin>>arr2[i];
    }
    rslt_size=m+n; //rslt arrays size calculated
    Merge(arr1,m,arr2,n,rslt);
    cout<<" Sorted Array: "<<endl;
    for(i=0;i<rslt_size;i++)
    {
        cout<<rslt[i]<<" ";
    }
    return 0;
}
void Merge(int arr1[],int m,int arr2[],int n,int rslt[])
{
    int p1=0,p2=n-1,a=0;
    while(p1<m && p2>=0)
    {
        if(arr1[p1]<arr2[p2])
        {
            rslt[a]=arr1[p1];
            p1++;
            //cout<<" p1 is :"<<p1<<endl;
        }
        else
        {
            rslt[a]=arr2[p2];
            p2--;
            //cout<<" p2 is :"<<p2<<endl;
        }
        a++;
    }
    while(p1<m)
    {
        rslt[a]=arr1[p1];
        p1++;
        a++;
    }
    while(p2>=0)
    {
       // cout<<" P2 is : "<<p2<<" ";
        rslt[a]=arr2[p2];
        p2--;
        a++;
    }
}
Output

Desired size of first array 5

Enter the elements in the first array (ascending order)

2

4

6

8

10

Desired size of second array 6

Enter the elements in the second array (descending order)

18

15

12

9

6

3

Sorted Array:

2 3 4 6 6 8 9 10 12 15 18
