Hello, rookie coders!
Today, we are focusing on the mighty Merge Sort, a potent way to organize data. It's time to explore and code this technique in JavaScript. Imagine shuffling a deck of cards and then rearranging them in order. Merge Sort accomplishes exactly this with data, but on a grander scale, making it top-tier for large-scale data.
First, let's build a merge()
function in JavaScript. It merges two sorted arrays into a single sorted array. Think of it as combining two sorted stacks of cards into one sorted stack.
The merge()
function above takes two sorted arrays (left
and right
) and combines them into one sorted array (resultArray
).
Seemingly tricky, the code is very straightforward:
