Combining sorted queues (2.2.14). Make a static function that takes two sorted queues as input and returns a new queue that was created by combining the two queues into a single sorted queue. 2.2.15 mergesort starting at the end of the line. Use the next technique to create a bottom-up mergesort: Given N items, make N queues, each containing one of the objects. From the N queues, create a queue. Re-insert the combined queue after performing Exercise 2.2.14's merging operation on the first two queues. Repeat this process until there is only one queue remaining.
