The straightforward approach to implementing merging is to design a method that merges two disjoint ordered arrays of Comparable objects into a third array. This strategy is easy to implement: create an output array of the requisite size and then choose successively the smallest remaining item from the two input arrays to be the next item added to the output array.
However, when we mergesort a large array, we are doing a huge number of merges, so the cost of creating a new array to hold the output every time that we do...
