Introduction

Sorting is one of the most important operations in computer science. It arranges the elements of a collection into a specific order, which makes searching and analyzing data much easier.

In this course of the Data Structures Series, we will explore Merge Sort, a classic divide and conquer algorithm.

The idea: split the array in half, sort each half, then merge the two sorted halves back together. Splitting continues until each piece has a single element (which is already sorted), and the real work happens while merging.

This course will include:

• Theory - understand how Merge Sort works.
• Implementation - build it in the programming language of your choice.
• Practice - solve coding challenges based on Merge Sort.
