I am trying to "combine" two arrayLists, producing a new arrayList that contains all the numbers in the two combined arrayLists, but without any duplicate elements and they should be in order. I came up with this code below. I run through it and it makes sense to me, but Im not sure if I can be using < or > to compare get(i)'s in arrayLists. I am adding all the elements in array1 into the plusArray. Then I am going through the plusArray and comparing it to array2 to see if any of array2's elements exist inside plusArray. If they do I am doing nothing, but if they dont then I am trying to add it in its correct position. Perhaps my nested for loops being used incorrectly? Note: The ArrayLists are presorted by the user in increasing order.

```
     ArrayList<Integer> plusArray = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for(int i = 0; i < array1.size(); i++){
    plusArray.add(array1.get(i));
}

for(int i = 0; i < plusArray.size(); i++){
    for(int j = 0; j < array2.size(); j++){

    if(array2.get(j) < plusArray.get(i)){
        plusArray.add(i,array2.get(j));
    }
    else if(plusArray.get(i).equals(array2.get(j))){
        ;
    }
    else if(array2.get(j) > plusArray.get(i)){
        plusArray.add(i, array2.get(j));
    }

}

```

UPDATE: I dont get the exception below anymore. Instead it seems the program runs forever. I changed the location of where to add the elements in the < and > conditions.

Here is the exception that I get when my array lists are:
IntSet 1: { 1 2 }
IntSet 2: { 1 3 4 }
