Input: 'a' = [2, 4, 6] and 'b' = [1, 3, 5]
Output: 3.5
Explanation: The array after merging 'a' and 'b' will be { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }. Here two medians are 3 and 4. So the median will be the average of 3 and 4, which is 3.5.
I first observed that directly merging both arrays would be inefficient, so I aimed for an optimized approach. I applied binary search on the smaller array to find a correct partition between the two arrays such that the number of elements on the left side equals the number on the right (or differs by one if the total length is odd). For each partition, I compared the maximum elements on the left side with the minimum elements on the right side to check if the partition was valid. If the condition was not satisfied, I adjusted the binary search range accordingly. Once a valid partition was found, I calculated the median based on whether the total number of elements was even or odd.
