Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In Merge Sort, what is the time complexity for merging two sorted arrays?
  • Step 1: Understand that merging means combining two sorted arrays into one sorted array.
  • Step 2: Identify the total number of elements in both arrays. Let's call this number 'n'.
  • Step 3: Realize that you will look at each element in both arrays to decide where it goes in the new array.
  • Step 4: Since you are checking each element once, the time it takes to merge is proportional to the total number of elements, which is 'n'.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the time complexity for merging two sorted arrays is O(n).
