Merge two sorted arrays and find the kth element
AI-Expanded — inferred from the question title, not from the original candidate report
Given two sorted arrays of integers, write a function to find the kth smallest element in the combined sequence as if the arrays were merged into a single sorted list. Your solution should aim for an efficient time complexity, ideally better than the linear O(n + m) approach required by a standard merge operation.
