Question 1

What is the main purpose of the iterative merge function?

  • To sort an array
  • To combine two sorted arrays
  • To reverse an array

💡 Hint: Think about what merging means in the context of sorted arrays.

Question 2

True or False: Merge sort is not suitable for large datasets due to its O(n^2) time complexity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Focus on the complexities of sorting algorithms.
