Merge

Assignment:

  1. As explained in the student lesson, write a method to merge two sorted lists into one sorted list.

  2. Add the code for your merge method to the provided starter code merge template, MergeTemplate.java.

Instructions:

  1. The merge algorithm is prone to logic errors. The most common error is dealing with cases when you have reached the end of one list or the other. You are to test these 6 different input scenarios or trials:

     
    List A
    List B
    Quantity
    Largest Value
    Quantity
    Largest Value
             
    Trial 1
    20
    100
    40
    100
    Trial 2
    40
    100
    20
    100
    Trial 3
    20
    100
    40
    50
    Trial 4
    20
    50
    40
    100
    Trial 5
    40
    50
    20
    100
    Trial 6
    40
    100
    20
    50

  2. Turn in your source code and the printed run output for trials 4 and 6. If possible, print only the merge function source code.
