Divide and Conquer Algorithms

Explore how divide-and-conquer algorithms solve complex problems by breaking them into smaller subproblems, focusing on merge sort. Learn to divide data, conquer through recursion, and combine results to achieve efficient sorting with better time complexity than simpler algorithms.

We'll cover the following...

The two sorting algorithms we've seen so far, selection sort and insertion sort, have worst-case running times of Θ(n2)\Theta(n^2). When the size of the input array is large, these algorithms can take a ...
