Program Plan Intro

Sorting:

Sorting is a process where the elements of a list are arranged in a particular order. The order of the list can be either present in the ascending order or descending order.

Merge sort:

  • The algorithm will divide the list into two halves and the merger sort algorithm is applied at each half in a recursive way.
  • The process is repeated in a recursive way until the list that is split is completely sorted.
  • Once two halves of the list is sorted, the list is merged to obtain a sorted list.

Java Merge Sort but make it read the data 12, 11, 13, 5, 6, 7 from a file not an array   /* Java program for Merge Sort */ class MergeSort {     // Merges two subarrays of arr[].     // First subarray is arr[l..m]     // Second subarray is arr[m+1..r]     void merge(int arr[], int l, int m, int r)     {         // Find sizes of two subarrays to be merged         int n1 = m - l + 1;         int n2 = r - m;           /* Create temp arrays */         int L[] = new int[n1];         int R[] = new int[n2];           /*Copy data to temp arrays*/         for (int i = 0; i < n1; ++i)             L[i] = arr[l + i];         for (int j = 0; j < n2; ++j)             R[j] = arr[m + 1 + j];           /* Merge the temp arrays */           // Initial indexes of first and second subarrays         int i = 0, j = 0;           // Initial index of merged subarray array         int k = l;         while (i < n1 && j < n2) {             if (L[i] <= R[j]) {                 arr[k] = L[i];…
Consider an array A containing elements 12, 23, 18, 19, 2,7, 8 starting from index 0 to 6. What will be the sum of the middle three values after the second pass of the merge procedure in the merge sort algorithm?
Solve the 6 number, 4 is the reference Topic: Searching and Sorting Please do it in python:  6.Search 42 in the sorted array of Q. No. 4 using ternary search algorithm. Show the values of low,mid1, mid2, high at each step. 4.Write the algorithm of Merge Sort in brief and show the steps of sorting this array of integersusing Merge Sort.
