Merge Sorted Array(Leetcode88)

Given two sorted integer arrays nums1 and nums2, merge nums2 into nums1 as one sorted array.

Note:

The number of elements initialized in nums1 and nums2 are m and n respectively.
You may assume that nums1 has enough space (size that is equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from nums2.
Example:

Input:
nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3
nums2 = [2,5,6],       n = 3

Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]
 

Constraints:

$-10^9$<= $nums1[i]$, $nums2[i]$ <= $10^9$
nums1.length == m + n
nums2.length == n

给你两个有序整数数组 nums1 和 nums2，请你将 nums2 合并到 nums1 中，使 nums1 成为一个有序数组。

说明:

初始化 nums1 和 nums2 的元素数量分别为 m 和 n 。
你可以假设 nums1 有足够的空间（空间大小大于或等于 m + n）来保存 nums2 中的元素。

示例:

输入:
nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3
nums2 = [2,5,6],       n = 3

输出: [1,2,2,3,5,6]
