Write a program to input N and M number of names in two different single dimensional arrays A and B respectively, such that none of them have duplicate names. Merge the arrays A and B into a single array C, such that the resulting array is sorted alphabetically. Display all the three arrays.

Test your program for the following data and some random data:

Sample data:

Input:
Enter the names in array A, N = 2
Enter the names in array B, M = 3
First array: A
Suman
Anil
Second array: B
Usha
Sachin
John

Output:
Sorted Merged array: C
Anil
John
Sachin
Suman
Usha
Sorted First array: A
Anil
Suman
Sorted Second array: B
John
Sachin
Usha
