Median of Two Sorted Arrays

arraybinary searchdivide and conquer

Problem Statement

Given two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 of size m and n respectively, return the median of the two sorted arrays.

The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)) .

Examples

Example 1
Input: nums1 = [1,3], nums2 = [2]
Output: 2.00000
merged array = [1,2,3] and median is 2.
Example 2
Input: nums1 = [1,2], nums2 = [3,4]
Output: 2.50000
merged array = [1,2,3,4] and median is (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5.

Constraints

nums1.length == m
nums2.length == n
0 <= m <= 1000
0 <= n <= 1000
1 <= m + n <= 2000
-10 ^6 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 10 ^6
