Input: A = [3, 6, 8, 10, 11]
B = [2, 5, 7, 12]
Output: def merge_sort(A, B):
result = []
i, j = 0, 0
# Compare elements and add lower one to result
while i < len(A) and j < len(B):
if A[i] < B[j]:
result.append(A[i])
i += 1
else:
result.append(B[j])
j += 1
# Add remaining elements
result += A[i:]
result += B[j:]
return result
#Test the algorithm
A = [3, 6, 8, 10, 11]
B = [2, 5, 7, 12]
print(merge_sort(A, B))
# Output: [2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12]
Prompt: Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Implement a algorithm in Python for sorting two large lists A and B. The algorithm should take the first element of list A and compare it with the first element of list B. If it is greater, then it should add the element to the result list and move the pointer of B to the next element. If the element of A is smaller, the pointer should move to the next element of A, and so on.
### Input:
A = [3, 6, 8, 10, 11]
B = [2, 5, 7, 12]
### Output:
def merge_sort(A, B):
result = []
i, j = 0, 0
# Compare elements and add lower one to result
while i < len(A) and j < len(B):
if A[i] < B[j]:
result.append(A[i])
i += 1
else:
result.append(B[j])
j += 1
# Add remaining elements
result += A[i:]
result += B[j:]
return result
#Test the algorithm
A = [3, 6, 8, 10, 11]
B = [2, 5, 7, 12]
print(merge_sort(A, B))
# Output: [2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12]
