How to Insert Elements of One Array into Another in Java?

In the world of programming, manipulating data structures is a fundamental skill. One common task that developers encounter is combining two arrays. This guide will walk you through how to insert elements from one array into another in Java, specifically focusing on replacing placeholder values and ensuring that the final result is sorted.

The Problem

You may have an array filled with placeholder values (like zeros) and want to replace these values with elements from another array. For example, let's say you have:

The goal is to replace the zeros in nums1 with elements from nums2 and end up with a sorted array. You might end up with something like this:

However, incorrectly using loops can result in unexpected outputs. For instance, if you used nested loops, you might see results like:

Clearly, this is not the desired outcome. So how do we achieve the correct insertion of array elements?

The Solution

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Avoid Nested Loops: Using nested loops is unnecessary for this task and may lead to incorrect results. Instead, we can handle this efficiently with a single loop that uses multiple indices.

Set Up Your Arrays: Start with your initial arrays. In our case:

Use a Single Loop: You can use a for loop where two indices will traverse both arrays simultaneously. This allows us to fill nums1 correctly as follows:

Sorting the Final Array: After inserting new values, you may also want to ensure that your resultant array is sorted. The easiest way is to use Arrays.sort() function from Java:

Output the Final Array: Finally, print the sorted array to verify the results:

Conclusion

Inserting elements from one array into another in Java doesn't have to be a complicated process. By using a single loop with careful index management, you can effectively replace values in your arrays and ensure the final output is as expected. With the provided code example, you should now have a clear pathway to solve similar problems in your programming projects.
