the below solution should work given the input array is sorted ( I am assuming ascending order) void rearrangeArray(int[] a, int[] b){ int m = a.length; int n = b.length; int i = m - 1; int j = 0; while((i >=0) && (j <= n-1)){ if(a[i] > b[j]){ int temp = a[i]; a[i] = b[j]; b[j] = temp; } i--; j++; } }
