implement a parametrized version of mergesort that 
will allow us to choose how many parts the input array will be divided into.
This method will take an integer array and integer K as inputs and produce one integer array as 
output. It will sort the input array by dividing it into K parts, recursively sorting those parts, and using 
the mergeAll method to merge the K sorted arrays into one sorted array.


Implement the mergesortK method

 

 public static int[] mergesortK(int[] arr, int k) {
        return new int[] {-1};
    }
