I have 2 set of data (from different files) and I allocate each set of data to array in my main program. But now I want to merge those 2 array and sort them in ascending orders in my sub program. What should I do? I know how to sort array in ascending orders, but i don't know how to merge those 2 array together... Any suggestion or help?

pseudo code:
create new array big enough to hold all the data
create a loop that puts all of the first array's elements into the new array
create a loop that puts all of the second array's elements into the new array (starting at the index left at the end of the first loop)

thanks you for answering my question. It helps a lot. However, Another subroutine is required to find the intersection of them and combined it into 1 array. Any suggestion or help please

You need to show us what you have tried. We are not going to write this code for you.

Your question should be posted in the Engineering & Comp. Sci. subsection under Homework & Coursework. I am closing this thread.

First, I tried to use do loop to compare each value in both array and the write out each intersect value. But I do not know how to put them together into an array since the size of this intersect array varies if the data change.

Again, you need to show us (in code) what you have tried, not explain to us what you have tried. As already noted, please start a new thread in the Homework & Coursework section.
