in the solution I proposed, k is doing the job of count. I think u should look at it again. Sanju :) On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 1:42 AM, tanuj chawla wrote: > @sanjay - shouldnt we use count instead of second k. and when count > becomes size/2,we get the element becouse we dont know the arr

@sanjay - shouldnt we use count instead of second k. and when count becomes size/2,we get the element becouse we dont know the array in which that element resides correct me if m wrong?? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.

see sum is total no.of elements in three arrays. the question is middle element in the merged array. so the middle element would be at index sum/2. Sanju :) On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 10:46 AM, Puneet Chawla wrote: > @sanjay why you have compared k with sum/2 is it a general solution..??? > > >

@sanjay : yes this is one approach . just doing this and keeping track of the smaller element and wen k is sum/2, the minimum element of the middle on true. but any other approach apart from this and wat if the total length is even, i.e u have to give two middle elements then On Sun, Aug 21, 2011

Take three pointers to the beginning of each array say i,j,k. Now let sum = len a +len b + len c. k=0 now start from the beginning, compare elements at indexes i,j,k. which ever is smaller, increment that index and k, continue till k becomes sum/2. when k becomes sum/2, this element will be midd

given three sorted arrays not necessary of same length (length is given) we have to determine the middle element such that the element will be the middle one of the such an array which will be formed if all three given arrays are merged in sorted order. input :- arr1 : 1,3,5,7 arr2 :
