java mergesort algorithm code example

Example 1: merge sort java

public static void mergeSort(int[] a, int n) {
    if (n < 2) {
        return;
    }
    int mid = n / 2;
    int[] l = new int[mid];
    int[] r = new int[n - mid];
 
    for (int i = 0; i < mid; i++) {
        l[i] = a[i];
    }
    for (int i = mid; i < n; i++) {
        r[i - mid] = a[i];
    }
    mergeSort(l, mid);
    mergeSort(r, n - mid);
 
    merge(a, l, r, mid, n - mid);
}

public static void merge(
  int[] a, int[] l, int[] r, int left, int right) {
 
    int i = 0, j = 0, k = 0;
    while (i < left && j < right) {
        if (l[i] <= r[j]) {
            a[k++] = l[i++];
        }
        else {
            a[k++] = r[j++];
        }
    }
    while (i < left) {
        a[k++] = l[i++];
    }
    while (j < right) {
        a[k++] = r[j++];
    }
}

}
}
/**
* p, mid, and r are indices into the array such that p <= mid < r.
* The procedure assumes that the subarrays 'numbers[p..mid]' and 'numbers[mid+1..r]' are
* in sorted order. It merge them to form a single sorted subarray that replaces
* the current subarray 'numbers[p..r]'.
