Java Program to Find Median of Two Arrays of Different Sizes

This is a java program to find the median from two different array. To do so we merge the two lists and then sort them, after that we find the median of the sequence. If the total number of elements (N) is odd median is the N/2th element, if its even (N-1/2 + N/2)/2th element.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Find Median of Elements where Elements are Stored in 2 Different Arrays. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
