Sorting is a key activity in programming, and you should understand how it works. Merge sort is a common approach. By learning this algorithm, you’ll improve your understanding of sorting. It serves as a cornerstone to your algorithmic knowledge, helping you in your job, and improving your interview performance.

In this class, we’ll look at:

• How the merge sort algorithm works
• The time and space complexity
• An implementation coded in Python

Ask questions and I’ll do my best to answer. I’m here to support you.
