Data Structures and Algorithms The Complete Masterclass - Merge Sort

The video tutorial covers the merge sort algorithm, emphasizing its importance in interviews and exams due to its efficient N log N complexity. It explains the divide and conquer approach, highlighting the use of recursion. The tutorial details the process of splitting arrays into subarrays and then merging them while sorting. A visualization of the merge sort process is provided to aid understanding.
