Design a greedy algorithm to solve the optimal merge pattern problem. In this problem, we have n sorted files of lengths f0, f1, ..., fn-1, and we wish to merge them into a single file by a sequence of merges of pairs of files. To merge two files of lengths m1 and m2 take m1 + m2 operations. Describe your algorithm in general, and illustrate it for files of lengths 10,4,3,5,8,6,2,2. Hint: Make a connection with the greedy algorithm for Huffman codes.
