HackerEarth Chandu and his Girlfriend Returns problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202415 February 2026

In this HackerEarth Chandu and his Girlfriend Returns problem solution In the previous problem Chandu bought some unsorted arrays and sorted them (in non-increasing order).

Now, he has many sorted arrays to give to his girlfriend. But, the number of sorted arrays are very large so Chandu decided to merge two sorted arrays into one sorted array. But he is too lazy to do that. So, he asked your help to merge the two sorted arrays into one sorted array (in non-increasing order).
