merge sort recursive c++ code example

Example: Merge sort in c++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 

void merge(int arr[], int l, int m, int r)
{
    int n1 = m - l + 1;
    int n2 = r - m;

    for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++)
        L[i] = arr[l + i];
    for (int j = 0; j < n2; j++)
        R[j] = arr[m + 1 + j];

 
    int i = 0;
 
    
    int j = 0;
 
    
    int k = l;
 
    while (i < n1 && j < n2) {
