Program Plan Intro

Sorting:

Sorting is a process where the elements of a list are arranged in a particular order. The order of the list can be either present in the ascending order or descending order.

Merge sort:

  • The algorithm will divide the list into two halves and the merger sort algorithm is applied at each half in a recursive way.
  • The process is repeated in a recursive way until the list that is split is completely sorted.
  • Once two halves of the list is sorted, the list is merged to obtain a sorted list.

SO You have been given two integer arrays/lists (ARR1 and ARR2) of size N and M, respectively. You need to print their intersection; An intersection for this problem can be defined when both the arrays/lists contain a particular value or to put it in other words, when there is a common value that exists in both the arrays/lists.Note :Input arrays/lists can contain duplicate elements.The intersection elements printed would be in the order they appear in the first sorted array/list (ARR1).Input format :The first line of input contains an integer 'N' representing the size of the first array/list.The second line contains 'N' single space separated integers representing the elements of the first the array/list.The third line contains an integer 'M' representing the size of the second array/list.The fourth line contains 'M' single space separated integers representing the elements of the second array/list.Output format :Print the intersection elements. Each element is printed in a separate…
