P11-Merge Sort

The document describes implementing a merge sort algorithm in C/C++ to sort a given set of n integer elements. It includes the code to perform the merge sort, merging two subarrays, recursively sorting and merging subarrays, and a driver program to test the implementation. It then discusses running the program for varied values of n greater than 5000, recording the time taken to sort, and plotting a graph of time taken versus n.

Design and implement C/C++ Program to sort a given set of n integer elements using
Merge Sort method and compute its time complexity. Run the program for varied
values of n> 5000, and record the time taken to sort. Plot a graph of the time taken
versus n. The elements can be read from a file or can be generated using the random
number generator.

a) Design and implement C/C++ Program to sort a given set of n integer elements using
Merge Sort method.
// Merge sort in C

#include <stdio.h>
// Merge two subarrays L and M into arr
void merge(int arr[], int p, int q, int r) {
// Create L ← A[p..q] and M ← A[q+1..r]
int n1 = q - p + 1;
int n2 = r - q;
int L[n1], M[n2];

for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++)


L[i] = arr[p + i];
for (int j = 0; j < n2; j++)
M[j] = arr[q + 1 + j];

// Maintain current index of sub-arrays and main array


int i, j, k;
i = 0;
j = 0;
k = p;

// Until we reach either end of either L or M, pick larger among


// elements L and M and place them in the correct position at A[p..r]
while (i < n1 && j < n2) {
if (L[i] <= M[j]) {
arr[k] = L[i];
i++;
} else {
arr[k] = M[j];
j++;
}
k++;
}

// When we run out of elements in either L or M,


// pick up the remaining elements and put in A[p..r]
while (i < n1) {
arr[k] = L[i];
i++;
k++;
}
while (j < n2) {
arr[k] = M[j];
j++;
k++;
}
}

// Divide the array into two subarrays, sort them and merge them
void mergeSort(int arr[], int l, int r) {
if (l < r) {
// m is the point where the array is divided into two subarrays
int m = l + (r - l) / 2;
mergeSort(arr, l, m);
mergeSort(arr, m + 1, r);
// Merge the sorted subarrays
merge(arr, l, m, r);
}
}

// Print the array


void printArray(int arr[], int size) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
printf("%d ", arr[i]);
printf("\n");
}

// Driver program
int main() {
int arr[] = {6, 5, 12, 10, 9, 1};
int size = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
mergeSort(arr, 0, size - 1);
printf("Sorted array: \n");
printArray(arr, size);
}
