Array out of bound exception

#1

public static int[] mergeSortedArray(int a[] ,int b[] ) {
int ml = a.length + b.length;
int [] merged = new int[ml];
int i=0,j=0,k=0;
while(i<a.length &&j<b.length) {
if(a[i]<=b[j]) {
merged[k]= a[i];
i++;
k++;
}
else {
merged[k] = a[j];
j++;
k++;
}
}

		while(j<b.length) {
		/	merged[k] = a[j];
			j++;
			k++;
		
	}
	
		while(i<a.length) {
			merged[k] = a[i];
			i++;
			k++;
		}
	

	return merged;
	
}

I am receiving a array out of bound on the / marked line

That’s because you are accessing array a at places where you are supposed to access b. merged[k] = b[j] it should be and not merged[k] = a[j]
