Merge sort begins by dividing the input list into two sublists, and then continues to divide each subsequent sublist until we are left with a bunch of sublists that each contain one element. Each one element list is considered sorted. Next, Merge sort conquers each sorted sublist by repeatedly merging adjacent sorted...
