Implementing Merge Sort Algorithm in Elixir
This article provides a comprehensive guide to implementing the Merge Sort algorithm using Elixir, highlighting its divide and conquer approach. It details the algorithm's three main steps: dividing the list until one element remains, conquering by recursively sorting single-element lists, and merging these sorted lists back together. The article includes code examples demonstrating the functions 'sort/1' for dividing lists and 'merge/2' for merging sorted lists. It underscores Elixir's functional programming style, avoiding loops and conditionals in favor of recursion and pattern matching. The author also provides a visualization of the merge sort process and resources for further exploration.
