The Pattern

Explore the divide and conquer recursion pattern used in algorithms like merge-sort and quick-sort. Understand how to split problems into smaller instances, apply recursion, and combine solutions. Learn about algorithm correctness through induction and performance analysis using recurrence and recursion trees.

How it works

Both merge-sort and quick-sort follow a general three-step pattern called divide and conquer:

  1. Divide the given instance of the
