The trivial way, O(m + n): Merge both arrays and the k-th smallest element could be accessed directly. Merging would require extra space of O(m+n). The linear run time is pretty good, but could we improve it even further? A better way, O(k): There is…

查找两个有序数组中的第K个元素 int FindKth(int a[], int b[], int k, int astart, int aend, int bstart, int bend) { ; ; ) { return b[bstart + k]; } ) { return a[astart + k]; } ) { return a[astart] > b[bstart] ? b[bstart] : a[astart] ; } int amid = aLen * k / (aLen +…
