给定两个有序数组arr1和arr2,在给定一个整数k,返回两个数组的所有数中第K小的数。
例如:
arr1 = {1,2,3,4,5};
arr2 = {3,4,5};
K = 1;
因为1为所有数中最小的,所以返回1;

arr1 = {1,2,3};
arr2 = {3,4,5,6};
K = 4;
因为3为所有数中第4小的数,所以返回3;

要求:如果arr1的长度为N,arr2的长度为M,时间复杂度请达到O(log(min{M,N}))。

这题目的难度在于时间复杂度请达到O(log(min{M,N})),参考http://www.cnblogs.com/diegodu/p/3790860.html可以达到O(log(M+N))

借助http://www.cnblogs.com/diegodu/p/4589847.html 求等长数组求中位数的方法能够实现。

举例,

arr1  1 ~ 10,

arr2  1‘ ~ 20’.

当kth = 7时,kth < min(s1,s2),

  求两个数组的前K个元素的中位数即可,因为,第K个必然在两个数组的前K个元素中。

  getUpMedian(arr1, 0, kth - 1, arr2, 0, kth - 1);

当kth = 26时,kth>max(s1,s2)

  arr1 的1到5 是不可能的,就算5>20,也不过第25而已,不会是26.

   arr2的 1’到15‘ 是不可能的,就算15’>10,也不过第25而已,不会是26.

  所以排除了5+15个元素,arr1剩下5个,arr2剩下5个。

  如果求剩下10个元素的上中位数,我们能得到第25大的,不是第26大,

所以,我们可以单独检验一下arr1 的6 和arr2的16‘是不是答案,

若是直接返回,不是的话又排除了两个,排除了22个,剩余8个,求上中位数第四个,加一起正好是第26个。

当kth = 16时,min(s1, s2)<kth<max(s1,s2)

arr1 无法排除,都有可能。

arr2的 1’~5‘排除,就算5’大于arr1的10,也不过是15。

arr2的 17‘~20’排除,17‘本来就排17了,最小也就是拍17。

所以arr2还剩下 6’ ~ 16‘ 11个元素,而arr1 有10个元素,

为了使用上中位数的算法,可以单独检测一下6’,若是返回,若不是淘汰,剩余的使用上中位数的算法。
