MergeSort

MergeSort is a method for organizing a list of items, like numbers, by repeatedly splitting the list into smaller parts, sorting those parts, and then combining them back together in order. It works by dividing the list into halves until each part has just one item. Then, it compares and merges these parts to create sorted lists, gradually building up to a fully sorted list. This divide-and-conquer approach ensures efficiency and consistency, making MergeSort a reliable choice for sorting large amounts of data quickly.
