Data Structures and Algorithms The Complete Masterclass - Implementing Merge Sort

This video tutorial explains the implementation of the merge sort algorithm, emphasizing the importance of understanding recursion. It covers the base case, recursive division of arrays, finding the middle element, and slicing arrays. The tutorial also details the implementation of the merge function, including handling edge cases and testing the algorithm with examples.

How do you handle the remaining elements after one of the lists is exhausted during merging?

What is the overall time complexity of the merge sort algorithm?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using merge sort?

In what scenarios would you prefer merge sort over other sorting algorithms?
