数组双指针排序 
给你两个按 非递减顺序 排列的整数数组 nums1 和 nums2,另有两个整数 m 和 n ,分别表示 nums1 和 nums2 中的元素数目。
请你 合并 nums2 到 nums1 中,使合并后的数组同样按 非递减顺序 排列。
注意:最终,合并后数组不应由函数返回,而是存储在数组 nums1 中。为了应对这种情况,nums1 的初始长度为 m + n,其中前 m 个元素表示应合并的元素,后 n 个元素为 0 ,应忽略。nums2 的长度为 n 。
示例 1:
输入:nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3, nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3
输出:[1,2,2,3,5,6]
解释:需要合并 [1,2,3] 和 [2,5,6] 。
合并结果是 [1,2,2,3,5,6] ,其中斜体加粗标注的为 nums1 中的元素。
 示例 2:
输入:nums1 = [1], m = 1, nums2 = [], n = 0
输出:[1]
解释:需要合并 [1] 和 [] 。
合并结果是 [1] 。
 示例 3:
输入:nums1 = [0], m = 0, nums2 = [1], n = 1
输出:[1]
解释:需要合并的数组是 [] 和 [1] 。
合并结果是 [1] 。
注意,因为 m = 0 ,所以 nums1 中没有元素。nums1 中仅存的 0 仅仅是为了确保合并结果可以顺利存放到 nums1 中。
 
提示:
nums1.length == m + nnums2.length == n0 <= m, n <= 2001 <= m + n <= 200-109 <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 109
进阶:你可以设计实现一个时间复杂度为 O(m + n) 的算法解决此问题吗?

ArrayTwo PointersSorting 
You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, sorted in non-decreasing order, and two integers m and n, representing the number of elements in nums1 and nums2 respectively.
Merge nums1 and nums2 into a single array sorted in non-decreasing order.
The final sorted array should not be returned by the function, but instead be stored inside the array nums1. To accommodate this, nums1 has a length of m + n, where the first m elements denote the elements that should be merged, and the last n elements are set to 0 and should be ignored. nums2 has a length of n.
Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3, nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3
Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]
Explanation: The arrays we are merging are [1,2,3] and [2,5,6].
The result of the merge is [1,2,2,3,5,6] with the underlined elements coming from nums1.
 Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [1], m = 1, nums2 = [], n = 0
Output: [1]
Explanation: The arrays we are merging are [1] and [].
The result of the merge is [1].
 Example 3:
Input: nums1 = [0], m = 0, nums2 = [1], n = 1
Output: [1]
Explanation: The arrays we are merging are [] and [1].
The result of the merge is [1].
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.
 
Constraints:
nums1.length == m + nnums2.length == n0 <= m, n <= 2001 <= m + n <= 200-109 <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 109
Follow up: Can you come up with an algorithm that runs in O(m + n) time?

    def merge(self, nums1: List[int], m: int, nums2: List[int], n: int) -> None:
        """
        Do not return anything, modify nums1 in-place instead.
        """
        i = n + m - 1
        j = m - 1
        k = n - 1
        while i >= 0:
            if j < 0:
                nums1[i] = nums2[k]
                k -= 1
            elif k < 0:
                nums1[i] = nums1[j]
                j -= 1
            else:
                if nums1[j] >= nums2[k]:
                    nums1[i] = nums1[j]
                    j -= 1
                else:
                    nums1[i] = nums2[k]
                    k -= 1
            i -= 1
