Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given two sorted lists [1, 4, 5] and [2, 3, 6], write a Python function to merge them. Then, analyze the time complexity of your function.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on iterating through both lists and appending the smaller element.

Question 2

Implement a full Merge Sort function in Python. Verify it by sorting a reverse-sorted list of 100 integers.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the structure: split, sort, merge.
