Example 2: Merge sort in c++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

    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) {
        if (L[i] <= R[j]) {
            arr[k] = L[i];
            i++;

    }
 
   
    while (j < n2) {

        j++;
        k++;

        return;
    }
    int m = (l+r-1)/2;
    mergeSort(arr,l,m);
    mergeSort(arr,m+1,r);
    merge(arr,l,m,r);
}
 

void printArray(int A[], int size)
