Input: list1 = [1, 2, 4], list2 = [1, 3, 4]

Output: [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4]

Explanation: The two lists are merged in sorted order.

Input: list1 = [], list2 = []

Output: []

Explanation: Both lists are empty, so the merged list is also empty.

Input: list1 = [], list2 = [0]

Output: [0]

Explanation: Only list2 has a node, so the merged list contains only that node.
