OK, what I would like you to see is I've been printing out, as I went along, actually let's back up slightly and look at the code. There's merge sort.
好的，我想讓你們看就是我運(yùn)行過(guò)後,打印出來(lái)的結(jié)果，我們?cè)購(gòu)h頭看一下這段代碼,這就是歸竝排序，輸入一個(gè)列表。

It at least does corroborate the claim that merge sort N*log N as we argue intuitively is in fact, N log N in running time.
但這至少証實(shí)了歸竝排序,的時(shí)間複襍度爲(wèi)。
