#This program gives an example of Merge sort
# Merge sort is a divide and conquer algorithm. In the divide and
# conquer paradigm, a problem is broken into pieces where each piece
# still retains all the properties of the larger problem -- except
# its size. To solve the original problem, each piece is solved
# individually; then the pieces are merged back together.
# Best = Average = Worst = O(nlog(n))
