merge sort algorithm implementation in java code example

Example: Merge sort java

public class JavaMergeSort

   void sorting(int[] num, int left, int main, int right)
   {
      // finding size of two sub arrays
      int list1 = main - left + 1;

      for(int a = 0; a < list1; ++a)
         L[a] = num[left + a];
      for(int b = 0; b < list2; ++b)
         R[b] = num[main + 1+ b];
      // existing index of first and second sub array
      int p = 0, q = 0;
      // existing index of merged sub array
