How would you go about proving the correctness of merge sort with reasoning over the states of loop invariants?.The only thing that i can visualize is that during the merge step the subarrays(invar...

I have already solved the problem using mergesort, now I am thinking is that possible to calculate the number using quicksort? I also coded the quicksort, but I don't know how to calculate. Here is...

Let's take this implementation of Merge Sort as an example void mergesort(Item a[], int l, int r) { if (r <= l) return; int m = (r+l)/2; mergesort(a, l, m); ------------(1) mergesort(a, m+1, r);...

I'm trying to understand the space requirements for a Mergesort, O(n). I see that time requirements are basically, amount of levels(logn) * merge(n) so that makes (n log n). Now, we are still alloc...

I was recently brushing up on some fundamentals and found merge sorting a linked list to be a pretty good challenge. If you have a good implementation then show it off here.

Why is mergesort considered "the way to go" when sorting lists and not quicksort? I heard this in a lecture that I watched online, and saw it in a couple of websites.

I have read that quicksort is much faster than mergesort in practice, and the reason for this is the hidden constant. Well, the solution for the randomized quick sort complexity is 2nlnn=1.39nlogn ...
