原题：

// merge sorted arrays 'a' and 'b', each with 'length' elements, 
// in-place into 'b' to form a sorted result. assume that 'b' 
// has 2*length allocated space. 
// e.g. a = [1, 3, 5], b = [2, 4, 6] => b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] 

//how to do it without rearanging the b array

题目：有两个排好序的数组a[]和b[]，把a有序归并到b中去，保证b的空间充足。如何就地完成这个算法？

解法：从后往前归并就可以不用额外空间了。
