Algorithm Description
Merge Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that splits an array into two halves, recursively sorts each half, and then merges the sorted halves to form a fully sorted list. It is highly efficient with a time complexity of O(n log n) in the worst, average, and best cases, making it reliable compared to algorithms like Quick Sort, which may degrade to O(n²). Merge Sort is a stable sorting algorithm, preserving the order of equal elements, and performs well with large datasets. It is also ideal for linked lists and external sorting where data cannot fit into memory, as merging is easily managed on disk.
