Part A - Write a function to print the elements common in 2 arrays Part B - Assuming that both the arrays are sorted, can you write code that solves this problem in O(m+n) time? (m, n are the lengths of arrays)
Example
input: arr1: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], arr2: [4, 2, 9, 1]
output: [1, 2, 4] // The elements can be printed in any order
input: arr1: [0, 12, 41, 20], arr2: [9, 3, 1, 5]
output: []
Part A - Write a function to return the elements common in 3 arrays Part B - Assuming that all three arrays are sorted, can you write code that solves this problem in O(m+n+p) time? (m, n, p are the lengths of arrays)
Example
input: arr1 = [1, 4, 6, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9], arr2 = [2, 5, 4, 6, 8, 1], arr3 = [1, 2, 3, 4]
output: [1, 2, 4]
input: arr1 = [1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 15], arr2 = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], arr3 = [2, 4, 6, 8]
output: [2, 4, 6]
