Learning objectives
- Explain Mergesort Is the Divide-and-Conquer Exemplar in the language of the current curriculum, not just the source book.
- Apply Mergesort Is the Divide-and-Conquer Exemplar to one concrete learner task or example inside this semester.
- Use
algorithms-sedgewick,introduction-to-algorithms-clrs,the-algorithm-design-manualas a selective source of truth when the learner-facing explanation is not enough.
Prerequisites
- The earlier concept pages and practice tasks in the current module.
