题目难度：Hard

题目

There are two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 of size m and n respectively.

Find the median of the two sorted arrays. The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)).

You may assume nums1 and nums2 cannot be both empty.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
nums1 = [1, 3]
nums2 = [2]

The median is 2.0

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
nums1 = [1, 2]
nums2 = [3, 4]

The median is (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5

public double findMedianSortedArrays(int[] nums1, int[] nums2) {
    int[] nums = new int[nums1.length + nums2.length];
    System.arraycopy(nums1, 0, nums, 0, nums1.length);
    System.arraycopy(nums2, 0, nums, nums1.length, nums2.length);
    Arrays.sort(nums);
    if ((nums.length & 1) == 0) {
        return (nums[(nums.length / 2) - 1] + nums[nums.length / 2]) / 2.0;
    } else {
        return nums[nums.length / 2];
    }
}

                }

                return (maxLeft + minRight) / 2.0;
            }
        }
        return 0.0;
    }
}

算法分析

核心思想是二分查找。

假设 A 数组是长度为 4，B 数组长度为 6，那么把 A 数组和 B 数组混合，然后重新排序，称之为数组 C。那么数组 C 的前半部分，必定由 A 中的若干个数和 B 中的若干个数组成。

时空复杂度分析

时间复杂度：$O(log(min(m,n))$

空间复杂度：$O(1)$

拓展

思考：如果是求三个有序数组的中位数呢？
