Question 1
Consider the list [10, 7, 5, 3, 4, 9, 8]. Modify the Merge Sort algorithm to sort this list in descending order instead of ascending. Provide a code snippet for your solution.
π‘ Hint: Reverse the comparisons made in the merge step.
Question 2
Critically assess the memory usage of the Merge Sort algorithm. When merging lists, what is the auxiliary space complexity, and how can it be optimized?
π‘ Hint: Reflect on how data is stored during the merging phase.
