Data Structures & Algorithms using Rust: Merge Sorted Array

As part of Data Structures and Algorithms implementation using Rust, today we will explore Merge Sorted Array problem.

Leetcode problem link: https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-sorted-array/

Problem Statement
Given two sorted integer arrays nums1 and nums2, merge nums2 into nums1 as one sorted array.

Instructions
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 equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from nums2. Example: Input: nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3 nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3 Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6] Constraints: -10^9 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 10^9 nums1.length == m + n nums2.length == n

Solution

Find below the implementation using Rust

impl Solution { pub fn merge(nums1: &mut Vec<i32>, m: i32, nums2: &mut Vec<i32>, n: i32) { let mut m_i: usize = m as usize; for i in 0..n { nums1[m_i] = nums2[i as usize]; m_i += 1; } nums1.sort_unstable() } }
