Merge Sort
- Merge Sort is another efficient divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm.It divides the array into two halves, sorts them, and then merges them back together.
- Merge Sort also has an average time complexity of O(nlog n) and is stable, making it suitable for various scenarios.
function mergeSort(arr) {
if (arr.length <= 1) return arr;
const middle = Math.floor(arr.length / 2);
const left = arr.slice(0, middle);
const right = arr.slice(middle);
const merge = (left, right) => {
let result = [];
let leftIndex = 0;
let rightIndex = 0;
while (leftIndex < left.length && rightIndex < right.length) {
if (left[leftIndex] < right[rightIndex]) {
result.push(left[leftIndex]);
leftIndex++;
} else {
result.push(right[rightIndex]);
rightIndex++;
}
}
return result.concat(left.slice(leftIndex), right.slice(rightIndex));
};
return merge(mergeSort(left), mergeSort(right));
}
const unsortedArray = [64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90];
const sortedArray = mergeSort(unsortedArray);
