How to Program Merge Sort

Note: To be able to actually read whats on screen, please switch to 480p resolution.

A short tutorial on how to program the merge sort algorithm. This is based on Java, using Eclipse as our IDE and arrays as our data structure.
Level: Beginner
Topics: Recursion and merge sort.

Code will be provided if you leave me a message and let me know why you need/want the source.

Thanks, and enjoy.

Yo what would need to be used inorder to properly use this for string and not integers?

great great tutorial, much clearer than my professor in class who spend over an hour trying to go over it

@Rusmanpatsan Ask the user to input the length of the array. And that input can be used for comparing length. Remember to change it in your for loop as well.

Good explanation. Wouldn't it be simpler to fill the right side with right [ j - midpoint ] instead of keeping track of a whole new variable?

i want to source you in my javadoc...can i have your name

i used your implementation of merge sort in my program that i am making for a class

[moez507]

thank u buddy. you have explained merge sort really well. you have a very clear thinking to write this algorithm so elegantly. we surely have a lot to learn from you...:) :)

from today my motto is think simple... code simple!
