Start with LHS and RHS | |
``` | |
LHS | RHS | |
----|------- | |
A | Bpre | |
B | B | |
C | Bpost | |
D | Hpre | |
E | H | |
F | Hpost | |
G | Epre | |
H | E | |
I | Epost | |
J | L | |
K | M | |

For every item in LHS, determine the index of the item in RHS (-1 means not present in RHS) | |
``` | |
LHS | RHS | |
-----|------ | |
A rindex=-1 | Bpre | |
B rindex=1 | B | |
C rindex=-1 | Bpost | |
D rindex=-1 | Hpre | |
E rindex=7 | H | |
F rindex=-1 | Hpost | |
G rindex=-1 | Epre | |
H rindex=4 | E | |
I rindex=-1 | Epost | |
J rindex=-1 | L | |
K rindex=-1 | M | |
``` | |
Shift shared items in LHS with rindex >= 0 to ensure rindex is monotonically increasing | |
``` | |
LHS | RHS | |
-----|------ | |
A rindex=-1 | Bpre | |
B rindex=1 | B | |
C rindex=-1 | Bpost | |
D rindex=-1 | Hpre | |
F rindex=-1 | H | |
G rindex=-1 | Hpost | |
H rindex=4 | Epre | |
E rindex=7 | E | |
I rindex=-1 | Epost | |
J rindex=-1 | L | |
K rindex=-1 | M | |
``` | |
Merge LHS and RHS (iterator vars li and ri): | |
- If LHS is not empty and LHS[li].rindex == -1, take LHS[li] and increment li | |
- If LHS is not empty and LHS[li].rindex == ri, take RHS[ri] and increment li and ri | |
- If RHS is not empty, take RHS[ri] and increment ri |
