Java program to find common elements in three sorted arrays
The common elements in three sorted arrays are the elements that occur in all three of them. An example of this is given as follows −
Array1 = 1 3 5 7 9 Array2 = 2 3 6 7 9 Array3 = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Common elements = 3 7 9
A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −
Example
public class Example {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int arr1[] = {1, 4, 25, 55, 78, 99};
int arr2[] = {2, 3, 4, 34, 55, 68, 75, 78, 100};
int arr3[] = {4, 55, 62, 78, 88, 98};
int i = 0, j = 0, k = 0, x = 0;
System.out.print("Array1: ");
for(x = 0; x < arr1.length; x++) {
System.out.print(arr1[x] + " ");
}
System.out.print("
Array2: ");
for(x = 0; x < arr2.length; x++) {
System.out.print(arr2[x] + " ");
}
System.out.print("
Array3: ");
for(x = 0; x < arr3.length; x++) {
System.out.print(arr3[x] + " ");
}
System.out.print("
The common elements in the 3 sorted arrays are: ");
while (i < arr1.length && j < arr2.length && k < arr3.length) {
if (arr1[i] == arr2[j] && arr2[j] == arr3[k]) {
System.out.print(arr1[i] + " ");
i++;
j++;
k++;
}else if (arr1[i] < arr2[j]) {
i++;
}else if (arr2[j] < arr3[k]) {
j++;
}else {
k++;
}
}
}
}Output
Array1: 1 4 25 55 78 99 Array2: 2 3 4 34 55 68 75 78 100 Array3: 4 55 62 78 88 98 The common elements in the 3 sorted arrays are: 4 55 78
