The k pairs with the smallest sums
Asked at HRT, SIG
Given two ascending arrays nums1 and nums2 and an integer k, return the k pairs (a, b) (one element from each array) with the smallest sums a + b, in nondecreasing order of sum.
nums1 = [1, 7, 11]
nums2 = [2, 4, 6]
k = 3 -> [[1, 2], [1, 4], [1, 6]]
