Problem
Given two arrays arr1
and arr2
, return a new array joinedArray
. All the objects in each of the two inputs arrays will contain an id
field that has an integer value.
joinedArray
is an array formed by merging arr1
and arr2
based on their id
key. The length of joinedArray
should be the length of unique values of id
. The returned array should be sorted in ascending order based on the id
key.
If a given id
exists in one array but not the other, the single object with that id
should be included in the result array without modification.
If two objects share an id
, their properties should be merged into a single object:
- If a key only exists in one object, that single key-value pair should be included in the object.
- If a key is included in both objects, the value in the object from
arr2
should override the value fromarr1
.
Example 1:
Input: arr1 = [ {"id": 1, "x": 1}, {"id": 2, "x": 9} ], arr2 = [ {"id": 3, "x": 5} ] Output: [ {"id": 1, "x": 1}, {"id": 2, "x": 9}, {"id": 3, "x": 5} ] Explanation: There are no duplicate ids so arr1 is simply concatenated with arr2.
Example 2:
Input: arr1 = [ {"id": 1, "x": 2, "y": 3}, {"id": 2, "x": 3, "y": 6} ], arr2 = [ {"id": 2, "x": 10, "y": 20}, {"id": 3, "x": 0, "y": 0} ] Output: [ {"id": 1, "x": 2, "y": 3}, {"id": 2, "x": 10, "y": 20}, {"id": 3, "x": 0, "y": 0} ] Explanation: The two objects with id=1 and id=3 are included in the result array without modifiction. The two objects with id=2 are merged together. The keys from arr2 override the values in arr1.
Example 3:
Input: arr1 = [ {"id": 1, "b": {"b": 94},"v": [4, 3], "y": 48} ] arr2 = [ {"id": 1, "b": {"c": 84}, "v": [1, 3]} ] Output: [ {"id": 1, "b": {"c": 84}, "v": [1, 3], "y": 48} ] Explanation: The two objects with id=1 are merged together. For the keys "b" and "v" the values from arr2 are used. Since the key "y" only exists in arr1, that value is taken form arr1.
Constraints:
arr1
andarr2
are valid JSON arrays- Each object in
arr1
andarr2
has a unique integerid
key 2 <= JSON.stringify(arr1).length <= 106
2 <= JSON.stringify(arr2).length <= 106
