Guided Merge Sort : An Optimized Sorting that Picks the Best from Ordinary and Multi-Way Merge Sort Algorithms

Read the original on Towards Data Science →

The article introduces Guided Merge Sort, an optimized sorting technique that combines elements of ordinary merge sort and multi‑way merge sort. It highlights how the use of the "goto" operator becomes essential in this approach. The post explains the algorithm’s design and its potential advantages over traditional methods.
