Problem
You are given two integer arrays nums1
and nums2
sorted in non-decreasing order and an integer k
.
Define a pair (u, v)
which consists of one element from the first array and one element from the second array.
Return the k
pairs (u1, v1), (u2, v2), ..., (uk, vk)
with the smallest sums.
Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,7,11], nums2 = [2,4,6], k = 3 Output: [[1,2],[1,4],[1,6]] Explanation: The first 3 pairs are returned from the sequence: [1,2],[1,4],[1,6],[7,2],[7,4],[11,2],[7,6],[11,4],[11,6]
Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [1,1,2], nums2 = [1,2,3], k = 2 Output: [[1,1],[1,1]] Explanation: The first 2 pairs are returned from the sequence: [1,1],[1,1],[1,2],[2,1],[1,2],[2,2],[1,3],[1,3],[2,3]
Constraints:
1 <= nums1.length, nums2.length <= 105
-109 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 109
nums1
andnums2
both are sorted in non-decreasing order.1 <= k <= 104
k <= nums1.length * nums2.length
