Question

Below is the exercise for Advanced Sorts.

To start, create your own set of 10 numbers in an array that are not sorted. Using your array, do the following exercises:

Show how the Mergesort algorithm sorts your array by:

1) Showing which sub parts of the array are being examined with each recursive call to Mergesort

2) Showing the results of the array each time the Merge function is used

Your demonstration should be similar to slides 19-33 in the Mergesort presentation. You do not have to show the details of the function calls in the stack (unless it helps you), but do explain what is happening at each step to show understanding of the algorithm.
