Answer 1

Something like this should work:

 for (Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet()) {
    String map1_key = entry.getKey();
    int map1_value = entry.getValue();

    //check:
    if(map2.get(map1_key)!=null){
    int map2_value = map2.get(map1_key);
    //merge:
    map3.put(map1_key,map1_value+map2_value);
    }else{
    map3.put(map1_key,map1_value);
    }
}


  for (Map.Entry entry2 : map2.entrySet()) {
        String map2_key = entry2.getKey();
        int map2_value = entry2.getValue();

        //check:
        if(map1.get(map2_key)!=null){
        int map1_value = map1.get(map2_key);
        //merge:
        map3.put(map2_key,map1_value+map2_value);
        }else{
        map3.put(map2_key,map2_value);
        }
    }
