Merge Sort
Given a sequence of n elements (also called keys) a[1]……a[n], the
general idea is to imagine them to split into two sets:
a[1]….a[n/2] and a[n/2 +1]…….a[n].
Each set is individually sorted and resulting sorted sequences are
merged to produce single sorted sequence of n elements.
Merge Sort Example
Merge-sort
Merging two Sorted Sequences
MergeSort Working
7 9 2 11 3 5

30
2 7 9 11 3 5 15 30
2 3 5 7 9 11 15 30
Low=1, high=8
Mid = (1+8)/2 = 4
Low=5, high=8
Mid = (5+8)/2 = 6
Low=1, high=4
Mid = (1+4)/2 = 2
Low=1, high=2
Mid = (1+2)/2 = 1
Low=7, high=8
Mid = (7+8)/2 = 7
Merging
