algo for merge sort code example
Example: merge sort algo
def mergeSort(arr):
if len(arr) >1:
mid = len(arr)
L = arr[:mid] # Dividing the array elements
R = arr[mid:] # into 2 halves
mergeSort(L) # Sorting the first half
mergeSort(R) # Sorting the second half
i = j = k = 0
# Copy data to temp arrays L[] and R[]
while i < len(L) and j < len(R):
if L[i] < R[j]:
arr[k] = L[i]
i+= 1
else:
arr[k] = R[j]
j+= 1
k+= 1
# Checking if any element was left
while i < len(L):
arr[k] = L[i]
i+= 1
k+= 1
while j < len(R):
arr[k] = R[j]
j+= 1
k+= 1
# Code to print the list
def printList(arr):
for i in range(len(arr)):
print(arr[i], end =" ")
print()
# driver code to test the above code
