Problem

There are two sorted arrays A and B of size m and n respectively. Find the median of the two sorted arrays. The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)).
Analysis

Analysis

Median is middle element in sorted array. So it is the (A'length + B'length)/2 of combined array of A and B. It can be solved by using K'th element where K is (A'length + B'length)/2

JavaScript code

function findMedianSortedArrays(A, B) {
    var m = A.length;
    var n = B.length;
 
    if ((m + n) % 2 != 0) // odd
        return findKth(A, B, parseInt((m + n) / 2), 0, m - 1, 0, n - 1);
    else { // even
        return (findKth(A, B, parseInt((m + n) / 2), 0, m - 1, 0, n - 1) 
            + findKth(A, B, parseInt((m + n) / 2) - 1, 0, m - 1, 0, n - 1)) * 0.5;
    }
}
 
function findKth(A, B, k, 
    aStart, aEnd, bStart, bEnd) {
 
    var aLen = aEnd - aStart + 1;
    var bLen = bEnd - bStart + 1;
 
    // Handle special cases
    if (aLen == 0)
        return B[bStart + k];
    if (bLen == 0)
        return A[aStart + k];
    if (k == 0)
        return A[aStart] < B[bStart] ? A[aStart] : B[bStart];
 
    var aMid = parseInt(aLen * k / (aLen + bLen)); // a's middle count
    var bMid = parseInt(k - aMid - 1); // b's middle count
 
    // make aMid and bMid to be array index
    aMid = aMid + aStart;
    bMid = bMid + bStart;
 
    if (A[aMid] > B[bMid]) {
        k = k - (bMid - bStart + 1);
        aEnd = aMid;
        bStart = bMid + 1;
    } else {
        k = k - (aMid - aStart + 1);
        bEnd = bMid;
        aStart = aMid + 1;
    }
 
    return findKth(A, B, k, aStart, aEnd, bStart, bEnd);
}

console.log(findMedianSortedArrays([1,2,8,10],[5,6,7,8]));
