Question

Use python when completing the question:

 

Write a function interleaved that accepts two sorted sequences of numbers and returns a sorted sequence of all numbers obtained by interleaving the two sequences.

Guidelines:

  • each argument is either a list or a range
  • assume that each argument is sorted in non-decreasing order (goes up or stays the same, never goes down)
  • you are not allowed to use sort or sorted (or any other form of sorting) in your solution
  • you must interleave by iterating over the two sequences simultaneously, choosing the smallest current number from each sequence.

Output: 

>>> interleaved( [-7, -2, -1], [-4, 0, 4, 8])

[-7, -4, -2, -1, 0, 4, 8]

 

>>> interleaved( [-4, 0, 4, 8], [-7, -2, -1])

[-7, -4, -2, -1, 0, 4, 8]

 

>>> interleaved( [-8, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 9, 9], [-6, -2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])

[-8, -6, -2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9]

 

>>> interleaved( [-3, -2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3], [-3, -2, 2, 3])

[-3, -3, -2, -2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3]

 

>>> interleaved( [-3, -2, 2, 3], [-3, -2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3])

[-3, -3, -2, -2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3]

 

>>> interleaved([1,2,2],[])

[1, 2, 2]

 

>>> interleaved([],[1,2,2])

[1, 2, 2]

 

>>> interleaved([],[])

[]

 

>>> interleaved( range(-2,12,3), range(20,50,5) )

[-2, 1, 4, 7, 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45]

 

>>> interleaved( range(20,50,5), range(-2,12,3) )==[-2, 1, 4, 7, 10, 20, 25,

30, 35, 40, 45]

True
