Solution: Find the Median of Two Sorted Arrays
Explore methods to find the median of two sorted arrays in Java. Understand a brute force approach that merges arrays, and a more efficient partitioning technique. Learn their implementations and time complexities to handle both odd and even total array sizes.

Solution #1: Brute force
We divide our algorithm into two cases:
For odd: Traverse both the arrays in such a way that you pick the minimum value from the current elements of both the arrays.
Remember to run the
forloop for half the size of the totalarraySize.
Keep the last value in median.
For even: The median is the average of the elements at index (()/ ...
