Given an array of strings/ character arrays, size of array n and an int value K. Implement merge sort to sort first K values in the array according to length of string and display them. code example
Example: merge sort iterative (string)

import java.util.Arrays;

public static void merge_sort(int[] my_arr){

int[] left = new int[mid];
for(int i = 0; i < mid; i++){

int[] right = new int[my_arr.length - mid];
