Lecture Notes: Merging Two Lists of Integers

Key Task

• Objective: Merge two lists of integers, remove duplicates, and sort the result in ascending order.

Function: merge_arrays

• Inputs: Two lists of integers, A and B.
• Steps:
  1. Combine Lists: Use A + B to merge the two lists into a single list.
  2. Remove Duplicates: Convert the merged list into a set to automatically remove any duplicate values, as sets do not allow duplicates.
  3. Sort the Result: Use the sorted() function on the set to convert it back into a list and ensure the numbers are in ascending order.
  4. Return: Return the sorted list.

Example of Function Call

• Syntax: c = merge_arrays(A, B)
• Note: After running the function, you will have the merged, deduplicated, and sorted list stored in variable c.
