{{task|Sorting Algorithms}}{{Sorting Algorithm}}[[Category:Recursion]]The '''merge sort''' is a recursive sort of order n*log(n). It is notable for having a worst case and average complexity of ''O(n*log(n))'', and a best case complexity of ''O(n)'' (for pre-sorted input). The basic idea is to split the collection into smaller groups by halving it until the groups only have one element or no elements (which are both entirely sorted groups). Then merge the groups back together so that their elements are in order. This is how the algorithm gets its "divide and conquer" description.

The &nbsp; '''merge sort''' &nbsp; is a recursive sort of order &nbsp; <big> n*log(n). </big>
Write a function to sort a collection of integers using the merge sort. The merge sort algorithm comes in two parts: a sort function and a merge function. The functions in pseudocode look like this:

;Task:
Write a function to sort a collection of integers using the merge sort.
 
 
The merge sort algorithm comes in two parts:
a sort function and
a merge function
 
The functions in pseudocode look like this:
'''function''' ''mergesort''(m)
'''var''' list left, right, result
Line 35 ⟶ 57:
'''return''' result
 
 
For more information see [[wp:Merge_sort|Wikipedia]]
;See also:
* &nbsp; the Wikipedia entry: &nbsp; [[wp:Merge_sort| merge sort]]
 
 
Note: &nbsp; better performance can be expected if, rather than recursing until &nbsp; <big> length(m) ≤ 1, </big> &nbsp; an insertion sort is used for &nbsp; <big> length(m) </big> &nbsp; smaller than some threshold larger than &nbsp; '''1'''. &nbsp; However, this complicates the example code, so it is not shown here.

This example creates a generic package for sorting arrays of any type. Ada allows array indices to be any discrete type, including enumerated types which are non-numeric. Furthermore, numeric array indices can start at any value, positive, negative, or zero. The following code handles all the possible variations in index types.
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="ada">generic
type Element_Type is private;
type Index_Type is (<>);

Footnote: Rather than directly write a mergesort for "ordinary" non-linear lists, I would write a routine to do the following:
 
* make a copy of the list;
* cast the copy to a linear list;
* sort the linear list;
* cast the result to non-linear list, and return the casted result.
 
 
This way, new cons-pairs are allocated only once.
 
The same thing can be done in other languages, of course. An interesting thing about this ATS implementation, though, is it proves the result is of the same length as the input. It does not, however, prove that the result satisfies the order predicate.
 
===A mergesort for non-linear lists of integers, guaranteeing a sorted result===
 
 
The following program not only sorts a list of integers, but verifies that the result is sorted. It is the simplest implementation I could think of that does that. It works by having a special kind of list that can be consed only in sorted order.
 
The length of the result also is verified. However, there is no proof that the result contains the same data as the input.

AutoHotkey_L has true array support and can dynamically grow and shrink its arrays at run time.
This version of Merge Sort only needs '''n''' locations to sort.

******************************************************************
* MERGE SORT *
* The Merge sort uses a completely different paradigm, one of *
* divide and conquer, to many of the other sorts. The data set *
* is split into smaller sub sets upon which are sorted and then *
* merged together to form the final sorted data set. *
* This version uses the recursive method. Split the data set in *
* half and perform a merge sort on each half. This in turn splits*
* each half again and again until each set is just one or 2 items*
* long. A set of one item is already sorted so is ignored, a set *
* of two is compared and swapped as necessary. The smaller data *
* sets are then repeatedly merged together to eventually form the*
* full, sorted, set. *
* Since cobol cannot do recursion this module only simulates it *
* so is not as fast as a normal recursive version would be. *
* Scales very well to larger data sets, its relative complexity *
* means it is not suited to sorting smaller data sets: use an *
* Insertion sort instead as the Merge sort is a stable sort. *

Inspired by the approach used by the Modula-2[https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithms/Merge_sort#Recursive_on_linked_list] application.
 
This an implementation of the stable merge sort algorithm for linked lists.
The merge sort algorithm is often the best choice for sorting a linked list.
 
The `Sort` procedure reduces the number of traversals by calculating the length only once at the beginning of the sorting process.
This optimization leads to a more efficient sorting process, making it faster, especially for large input lists.
 
Two modules are provided - for implementing and for using the merge sort .

This is the standard algorithm, except that in the looping phase of the merge we work backwards through the left and right lists to construct the merged list, to take advantage of the [[Groovy]] ''List.pop()'' method. However, this results in a partially merged list in reverse sort order; so we then reverse it to put in back into correct order. This could play havoc with the sort stability, but we compensate by picking aggressively from the right list (ties go to the right), rather than aggressively from the left as is done in the standard algorithm.
<syntaxhighlight lang="groovy">def merge = { List left, List right ->
List mergeList = []
while (left && right) {
print "."
mergeList << ((left[-1] > right[-1]) ? left.pop() : right.pop())
}
mergeList = mergeList.reverse()
mergeList = left + right + mergeList
}
 
def mergeSort;
mergeSort = { List list ->
 
def n = list.size()
if (n < 2) return list
def middle = n.intdiv(2)
def left = [] + list[0..<middle]
def right = [] + list[middle..<n]
left = mergeSort(left)
right = mergeSort(right)
if (left[-1] <= right[0]) return left + right
merge(left, right)
}</syntaxhighlight>
Test:
<syntaxhighlight lang="groovy">println (mergeSort([23,76,99,58,97,57,35,89,51,38,95,92,24,46,31,24,14,12,57,78,4]))
println (mergeSort([88,18,31,44,4,0,8,81,14,78,20,76,84,33,73,75,82,5,62,70,12,7,1]))

The presence of decimal and integer versions of the same numbers, demonstrates, but of course does not '''prove''', that the sort remains stable.

===Tail recursion version===
It is possible to write a version based on tail recursion, similar to that written in Haskell, OCaml or F#.
This version also takes into account stack overflow problems induced by recursion for large lists using closure trampolines:
<syntaxhighlight lang="groovy">split = { list ->
list.collate((list.size()+1)/2 as int)
}
 
merge = { left, right, headBuffer=[] ->
if(left.size() == 0) headBuffer+right
else if(right.size() == 0) headBuffer+left
else if(left.head() <= right.head()) merge.trampoline(left.tail(), right, headBuffer+left.head())
else merge.trampoline(right.tail(), left, headBuffer+right.head())
}.trampoline()
 
mergesort = { List list ->
if(list.size() < 2) list
else merge(split(list).collect {mergesort it})
}
 
assert mergesort((500..1)) == (1..500)
assert mergesort([5,4,6,3,1,2]) == [1,2,3,4,5,6]
assert mergesort([3,3,1,4,6,78,9,1,3,5]) == [1,1,3,3,3,4,5,6,9,78]
</syntaxhighlight>
 
which uses <code>List.collate()</code>, alternatively one could write a purely recursive <code>split()</code> closure as:
<syntaxhighlight lang="groovy">
split = { list, left=[], right=[] ->
if(list.size() <2) [list+left, right]
else split.trampoline(list.tail().tail(), [list.head()]+left,[list.tail().head()]+right)
}.trampoline()
</syntaxhighlight>
 
=={{header|Haskell}}==
Splitting in half in the middle like the normal merge sort does would be inefficient on the singly-linked lists used in Haskell (since you would have to do one pass just to determine the length, and then another half-pass to do the splitting). Instead, the algorithm here splits the list in half in a different way -- by alternately assigning elements to one list and the other. That way we (lazily) construct both sublists in parallel as we traverse the original list. Unfortunately, under this way of splitting we cannot do a stable sort.
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="haskell">merge [] ys = ys
merge xs [] = xs
merge xs@(x:xs'xt) ys@(y:ys'yt) | x <= y = x : merge xs'xt ys
| otherwise = y : merge xs ys'yt
 
split (x:y:zs) = let (xs,ys) = split zs in (x:xs,y:ys)
Line 770 ⟶ 4,103:
mergeSort [x] = [x]
mergeSort xs = let (as,bs) = split xs
in merge (mergeSort as) (mergeSort bs)</langsyntaxhighlight>
Alternatively, we can use bottom-up mergesort. This starts with lots of tiny sorted lists, and repeatedly merges pairs of them, building a larger and larger sorted list
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">mergePairs (sorted1 : sorted2 : sorteds) = merge sorted1 sorted2 : mergePairs sorteds
mergePairs sorteds = sorteds
 
mergeSortBottomUp list = mergeAll (map (\x -> [x]) list)
=={{header|Io}}==
<lang io>List do (
merge := method(lst1, lst2,
result := list()
while(lst1 isNotEmpty or lst2 isNotEmpty,
if(lst1 first <= lst2 first) then(
result append(lst1 removeFirst)
) else (
result append(lst2 removeFirst)
)
)
result)
 
mergeAll [sorted] = sorted
mergeSort := method(
mergeAll sorteds = mergeAll (mergePairs sorteds)</syntaxhighlight>
if (size > 1) then(
The standard library's sort function in GHC takes a similar approach to the bottom-up code, the differece being that, instead of starting with lists of size one, which are sorted by default, it detects runs in original list and uses those:
half_size := (size / 2) ceil
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">sort = sortBy compare
return merge(slice(0, half_size) mergeSort,
sortBy cmp = mergeAll . sequences
slice(half_size, size) mergeSort)
where
) else (return self)
sequences (a:b:xs)
| a `cmp` b == GT = descending b [a] xs
| otherwise = ascending b (a:) xs
sequences xs = [xs]
 
descending a as (b:bs)
mergeSortInPlace := method(
| a `cmp` b == GT = descending b (a:as) bs
copy(mergeSort)
descending a as bs = (a:as): sequences bs
)
)

lst mergeSort println # ==> list(-2, -1, 3, 5, 9, 15)

ascending a as (b:bs)
== Icon and Unicon ==
| a `cmp` b /= GT = ascending b (\ys -> as (a:ys)) bs
==={{header|Icon}}===
ascending a as bs = as [a]: sequences bs</syntaxhighlight>
In this code, mergeAll, mergePairs, and merge are as above, except using the specialized cmp function in merge.

===Recursive on linked list===
{{works with|TopSpeed (JPI) Modula-2 under DOSBox-X}}
According to Wikipedia, "merge sort is often the best choice for sorting a linked list". The code below shows a general procedure for merge-sorting a linked list. As in the improved Delphi version, only the pointers are moved. To carry out the Rosetta Code task, the demo program sorts an array of records on an integer-valued field.
 
The method for splitting a linked list is taken from "Merge sort algorithm for a singly linked list" on Techie Delight. Two pointers step through the list, one at twice the speed of the other. When the fast pointer reaches the end, the slow pointer marks the halfway point.

===improvement===
uses "only" one halfsized temporary array for merging, which are set to the right size in before.
small sized fields are sorted via insertion sort.
Only an array of Pointers is sorted, so no complex data transfers are needed.Sort for X,Y or whatever is easy to implement.
 
Works with ( Turbo -) Delphi too.

tail recursion, which would typically require reversing the result, as well as being
a bit more convoluted.

merge uses the helper mergei to merge two lists. The mergei takes a stack of the form [mergedlist] [list1] [list2]
it then extracts one element from list2, splits the list1 with it, joins the older merged list, first part of list1 and the element that was used for splitting (taken from list2) into the new merged list. the new list1 is the second part of the split on older list1. new list2 is the list remaining after the element e2 was extracted from it.

n:=L.len()/2;
self.fcn(L[0,n]).merge(self.fcn(L[n,*]));
}</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="zkl">mergeSort(T(1,3,5,7,9,8,6,4,2)).println();
mergeSort("big fjords vex quick waltz nymph".split("")).concat().println();</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
