The writefile method should write out to the given output file all the integers in the given array, one per line. For this part, the merge method should return a new array big enough to hold the content of the first two arrays (a and b), and then the first two copied into that array, without regard for order.
How would I do this?
Here is my code so far:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Merge1
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
File sorted1 = new File (args[0]);
File sorted2 = new File (args[1]);
File sortedout = new File (args[2]);
Scanner input = new Scanner("sorted1.txt");
readfile(input);
/*for(int j = 0; j < sorted1; ++j)
{
int[] rock = new int[sorted1];
System.out.println(rock[j]);
} */
} // end main
static int[] readfile(Scanner input)
{
String num = "";
while(input.hasNextInt())
{
num += input.nextInt() + " ";
}
String[] array = num.split(" ");
int[] list = new int[array.length];
for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
list[i] = Integer.parseInt(array[i]);
}
return list;
} // end readfile
static void writefile(PrintStream output, int[] a)
{
} // end writefile
static int[] merge(int[] a, int[] b)
{
int[] answer = new int[a.length + b.length];
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
int k = 0;
while (i < a.length && j < b.length)
{
if (a[i] < b[j])
{
answer[k++] = a[i++];
}
else
{
answer[k++] = b[j++];
}
}
while (i < a.length)
{
answer[k++] = a[i++];
}
while (j < b.length)
{
answer[k++] = b[j++];
}
return answer;
} // end merge
} // end Merge1
