You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, sorted in non-decreasing order, and two integers m and n, representing the number of elements in nums1 and nums2 respectively. Merge nums1 and nums2 into a single array sorted in non-decreasing order. The final sorted array should be stored inside the array nums1. To accommodate this, nums1 has a length of m + n, where the first m elements denote the elements that should be merged, and the last n elements are set to 0 and should be ignored. nums2 has a length of n.
Example 1
Input: nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3, nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3
Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]
Explanation: The real elements are [1,2,3] and [2,5,6]. Merging them in sorted order gives [1,2,2,3,5,6], which fills all six slots of nums1.
Example 2
Input: nums1 = [1], m = 1, nums2 = [], n = 0
Output: [1]
Explanation: nums2 is empty, so nums1 stays [1].
Example 3
Input: nums1 = [0], m = 0, nums2 = [1], n = 1
Output: [1]
Explanation: m = 0, so nums1 has no real elements and its single slot is filled with nums2's 1.
Fill nums1 from its last slot backward, always placing the larger of the two current tails. Writing from the end means we never overwrite an nums1 element we still need to compare.
