+Task 2: Merge Items
+
+Submitted by: [48]Mohammad Sajid Anwar
+     __________________________________________________________________
+
+   You are given two 2-D array of positive integers, $items1 and $items2
+   where element is pair of (item_id, item_quantity).
+
+   Write a script to return the merged items.
+
+Example 1
+
+Input: $items1 = [ [1,1], [2,1], [3,2] ]
+       $items2 = [ [2,2], [1,3] ]
+Output: [ [1,4], [2,3], [3,2] ]
+
+Item id (1) appears 2 times: [1,1] and [1,3]. Merged item now (1,4)
+Item id (2) appears 2 times: [2,1] and [2,2]. Merged item now (2,3)
+Item id (3) appears 1 time: [3,2]
+
+Example 2
+
+Input: $items1 = [ [1,2], [2,3], [1,3], [3,2] ]
+       $items2 = [ [3,1], [1,3] ]
+Output: [ [1,8], [2,3], [3,3] ]
+
+Example 3
+
+Input: $items1 = [ [1,1], [2,2], [3,3] ]
+       $items2 = [ [2,3], [2,4] ]
+Output: [ [1,1], [2,9], [3,3] ]
