C Program to implement Merge Sort

Simple C Program to implement Merge Sort Algorithm

Code:

#include<stdio.h>


void mergesort(int a[],int i,int j);

void merge(int a[],int i1,int j1,int i2,int j2);



int main()

{

int a[30],n,i;

printf("Enter no of elements:");

scanf("%d",&n);

printf("Enter array elements:");



for(i=0;i<n;i++)

scanf("%d",&a[i]);



mergesort(a,0,n-1);



printf("\nSorted array is :");

for(i=0;i<n;i++)

printf("%d ",a[i]);



return 0;

}



void mergesort(int a[],int i,int j)

{

int mid;



if(i<j)

{

mid=(i+j)/2;

mergesort(a,i,mid); //left recursion

mergesort(a,mid+1,j); //right recursion

merge(a,i,mid,mid+1,j); //merging of two sorted sub-arrays

}

}



void merge(int a[],int i1,int j1,int i2,int j2)

{

int temp[50]; //array used for merging

int i,j,k;

i=i1; //beginning of the first list

j=i2; //beginning of the second list

k=0;



while(i<=j1 && j<=j2) //while elements in both lists

{

if(a[i]<a[j])

temp[k++]=a[i++];

else

temp[k++]=a[j++];

}



while(i<=j1) //copy remaining elements of the first list

temp[k++]=a[i++];



while(j<=j2) //copy remaining elements of the second list

temp[k++]=a[j++];



//Transfer elements from temp[] back to a[]

for(i=i1,j=0;i<=j2;i++,j++)

a[i]=temp[j];
