You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2 sorted in ascending order and an integer k.
Define a pair (u,v) which consists of one element from the first array and one element from the second array.
Find the k pairs (u1,v1),(u2,v2) ...(uk,vk) with the smallest sums.
Example 1: Given nums1 = [1,7,11], nums2 = [2,4,6], k = 3
Return: [1,2],[1,4],[1,6]
The first 3 pairs are returned from the sequence: [1,2],[1,4],[1,6],[7,2],[7,4],[11,2],[7,6],[11,4],[11,6] Example 2: Given nums1 = [1,1,2], nums2 = [1,2,3], k = 2
Return: [1,1],[1,1]
The first 2 pairs are returned from the sequence: [1,1],[1,1],[1,2],[2,1],[1,2],[2,2],[1,3],[1,3],[2,3] Example 3: Given nums1 = [1,2], nums2 = [3], k = 3
Return: [1,3],[2,3]
All possible pairs are returned from the sequence: [1,3],[2,3]

if(nums1 == null || nums1.length == 0 || nums2 == null || nums2.length == 0) return new ArrayList<int[]>();
List<int[]> ans = new ArrayList<int[]>();
int indice[] = new int[nums1.length];
while(k-->0) {
boolean exist = false;

int minIdx1 = -1;
int minIdx2 = -1;
for(int i = 0; i < indice.length; i++) {
if(indice[i] == nums2.length) continue;
