Subjective 31-34

Problem Preview

"### **Q31** **(a)** `merge([1,2],[3,4,5])` * **Output of the given code:** `[1,2]` * **Correct merged output:** `[1,2,3,4,5]` **(b)** `merge([1,4,6],[2,3])` * **Output of the given code:** `[1,2,3,4,6]` * **Correct merged output:** `[1,2,3,4,6]` --- ### **Q32** **Bug:** After the main merge loop, the algorithm appends only the remaining elements of **A**. If **B** still has leftover elements, they are never copied. **Effect:** The output is incorrect only when **B** has remaining elements after the first loop. Otherwise, the merged list is correct. --- ### **Q33** **Fix:** ```text while j < length(B): append B[j] to out j = j + 1 ``` **Reason:** The main merge loop stops as soon as one list is exhausted. This additional loop copies any remaining elements from **B**, ensuring no elements are lost. --- ### **Q34** The algorithm should append the remaining elements from **both** lists after the main merge loop. Since it currently handles only **A**, any leftover elements in **B** are omitted. Adding the missing loop for **B** guarantees that the merged output contains every element in sorted order."
