Merge Strings You must merge strings a and b, and then return a single merged string. A merge operation on two strings is described as follows: Append alternating characters from a and b, respectively, to some new string, mergedString. Math and Analytical Thinking Once all of the characters in one of the strings have been merged, append the remaining characters in the other string to mergedString Function Description Complete the function mergeStrings in the editor below. The function must return the merged string. mergeStrings has the following parameter(s): a: first string b: second string Constraints . 1 s lal lbl s 25000 4 Sample Case 0 Sample Input 0 Coding Choose "abc" a- b"def" one between Coding and MATLAB] Sample Output 0 6 "adbecf" 7 Sample Case 0 Sample Input 0 a"abc" b "def" - Math and Analytical Thinking [Mandatory Sample Output 0 "adbecf" Explanation 0 a = "abc" b "def" Taking alternate characters from both the strings, we get "adbecf" 2 4 Sample Case 1 Sample Input 1 5 "abc" "stuvwx" a- Coding Choose one between b = Sample Output 1 Coding and MATLAB] "asbtcuvwx" 6 7 Explanation O Draft saved 05:50 pm Original code Java 8 1-import ; 12 13 public class Solution 14 15 16 // Complete the mergeStrings function below static String mergeStrings (String a, String b) 18 20 21 public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException (e) 23 39
