The Pattern

Learn to apply the divide and conquer pattern in recursion to solve complex problems by dividing them into smaller instances, solving each recursively, and combining results. Understand how this approach underpins algorithms like merge-sort and quick-sort, with insights into correctness proofs and runtime analysis.

How it works

Both merge-sort and quick-sort follow a general three-step pattern called divide and conquer. It works as follows:

  1. Divide the
