MERGE SORT IN DATA STRUCTURE

Image
MERGE SORT:   The process of merge sort is to divide the array into two halves, sort each half, and then  merge the sorted halves back together. This process is repeated until the entire array is  sorted. One of the main advantages of merge sort is that it has a time complexity of O(n  log n), which means it can sort large arrays relatively quickly. THE WORKING PROCESS OF MERGE SORT : If the array has multiple elements, split the array into halves and recursively  invoke the merge sort on each of the halves. Finally, when both halves are sorted, the  merge operation is applied. Merge operation is the process of taking two smaller sorted arrays and combining them to eventually make a larger one. HOW DOES MERGE SORT WORKS? Merge sort is a popular sorting algorithm known for its efficiency and stability. It follows the divide-and-conquer approach to sort a given array of elements. H ere’s a step-by-step explanation of how merge sort works: 1.Divide: Divide the...
