2 pointers, i and j, one for each array. I would have a while loop run for length of the arrays / 2 times. I would increment one of the pointers with each iteration based on which array had the next biggest number. When the while loop

The problem is that the interviews for the jobs are basically IQ tests wrapped in a layer of prerequisite computer science knowledge. The job itself, I'm willing to bet, also requires raw intelligence even if its one of those cases whe

I actually do go through the 5 steps you mentioned, but the problem is I don't see parts of the algorithm I'm missing until test cases fail or until I'm actually translating to code. The need to make what I'm thinking pr
