How can I combine elements from different arrays in java?

Question

Suppose a={1,2,3} and b={4,5,6} and I want to return an array containing the middle elements of a and b, i.e., {2,5}. I tried to use "merge":

public int[] middleValueArray(int[] a, int[] b) {
 int[] both=merge(a[1],b[1]);
 return both;
}

This does not seem to work. Is there a simple way to approach this? Thanks!

Answer 1

you can do it like this:

public int[] middleValueArray(int[] a, int[] b) {
 int[] both=new int[]{a[1],b[1]};
 return both;
}
