Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Write a detailed explanation of how merge sort works, including both the divide and merge steps, and discuss its advantages over other sorting algorithms.

💡 Hint: Try outlining the steps methodically.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a visual representation that illustrates both the merge sort process and the iterative merging of two sorted arrays.

💡 Hint: Visuals help in understanding how the merging at each level occurs.
