public static void merge ( int[] arrayA, int sizeA,
int [] arrayB, int sizeB,
int[] arrayC )

{
int aDex=0, bDex=0, cDex=0;
23
24
25
while (aDex < sizeA && bDex < sizeB)
if( arrayA[aDex] < arrayB[bDex] )
arrayC[cDex++] = arrayA[aDex++];
26

arrayC[cDex++] = arrayB [bDex++] ;
while (aDex < sizeA)
arrayC[cDex++] = arrayA[aDex++];
