Divide & Conquer • Solves a big problem by dividing the big problem into small ones and solve the small problems, and combine the solutions of small problems to get the solution of the original big problem • Example • QuickSort • MergeSort
QuickSort • Divide Step • Pick any number v as pivot • Divide set S into two subsets S1 and S2 • , • . • Conquer Step • Sort S1 and S2 • Combine Step • Sort S by the sorted S1 followed by v, and followed by the sorted S2

Merge Sort • Divide Step • Divide the set S into two subsets S1 and S2 • S1 contains the first elements • S2 contains the remaining elements • Conquer Step • Sort S1 and S2 recursively • Combine Step • Merge the sorted S1 and S2

Quick Sort & Merge Sort • Time complexity O(nlogn)
Exercise Sort 10 records with keys (26, 5, 37, 1, 61, 11, 59, 15, 48, 19)
Exercises • Show that QuickSort takes O(n^2) time when the input list is already in sorted order
Solution • F (n) =O (n) + F (n-1) F (n) =O(n^2)
Exercise • Quick sort is an unstable sorting method. Give an example of an input list in which the order of records with equal keys is not preserved.
Exercise • Prove the MergeSort is stable
