Mastering Algorithms for Problem Solving in Java

## 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 problem into several independent smaller instances of exactly the same problem.
2. **Delegate** each smaller instance to the Recursion Fairy.
3. **Combine** the solutions for the smaller instances into the final solution.
