MERGSORT - Mergesort |
Simple. Sort the numbers on the standard input using the merge sort algorithm. Don't try to cheat by just calling your build in functions... I can see your source.
Input
On the standard input you will receive N (1 <= N <= 100000). Each number will fit in 32-bit integer
Output
Output the same integers in a sorted manner. Smallest to largest.
Example
Input: 7 3 2 5 4 3 Output: 2 3 3 4 5 7

can the author really look at the source ? |

Well I guess you have a valid Point. The Author should have asked about the number of swaps or something that was solely related to MergeSort. |

By the way, you can see my source, but I can obfuscate it. ;) |

As far as I'm concerned, any solution that can get AC is correct. And this holds not just on SPOJ but any programming contest/judge. That's because it's impractical to have humans review every solution manually. It's up to the problem author to craft a problem that can only be solved by the desired algorithm. |

However You Need to be true to yourself at times.You may use Function Calls sort or qsort but then Does it serve the Purpose is the Million-Dollar Question that you need to ask yourself. |

It's not feasible for you to manually ensure that submissions are actually implementing merge sort. |
