🔹 Working of Merge Sort

The working of merge sort is based on the divide and conquer algorithm. It is a popular recursive algorithm that continuously splits an array into half until the list is empty or has only one item remaining.

Put simply, it breaks down a set/problem into two or more subsets until each subset is simple enough to be solved directly. Merge sort then follows the process of taking two smaller arrays and combining them to form a new list.

🔹 The concept of divide and conquer primarily involves three steps:

Step 1: Divide the problem into multiple small problems
Step 2: Conquer the smaller problems
Step 3: Combine the solution of all the subproblems to arrive at the final solution

Merge Sort is also one of the fastest sorting algorithms in data structure that work in 0(nlogn) time complexity.
