Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

How would you modify the merge function to apply a union operation, ensuring duplicates from both lists are removed?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how to keep track of elements you've already added.

Question 2

Propose an alternative algorithm that could use the concept of merging while optimizing space complexity.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Explore how to manipulate the original lists rather than creating new ones.
