#

Requires: The resulting range shall not overlap with either of the original ranges.

2
#

Effects: Constructs a sorted union of the elements from the two ranges; that is, the set of elements that are present in one or both of the ranges.

3
#

Returns: The end of the constructed range.

4
#

Complexity: At most 2 * ((last1 - first1) + (last2 - first2)) - 1 comparisons.

#

Remarks: If [first1, last1) contains m elements that are equivalent to each other and [first2, last2) contains n elements that are equivalent to them, then all m elements from the first range shall be copied to the output range, in order, and then max(n−m,0) elements from the second range shall be copied to the output range, in order.
