Develop a merge implementation that reduces the extra space requirement to max(M, N/M), based on the following idea: Divide the array into N/M blocks of size M (for simplicity in this description, assume that N is a multiple of M). Then, (i) considering the blocks as items with their first key as the sort key, sort them using selection sort; and (ii) run through the array merging the first block with the second, then the second block with the third, and so forth.

Merge sort

Merge Sort recursively sorts a given collection of numbers or elements by using the divide and conquer strategy in less time. It is one of the most used algorithms, with the worst-case time complexity of O (n log n). It was invented by John Von Neumann. The algorithm continuously divides an array into sub-arrays until each sub-array consists of a single element. It then merges those sub-arrays to produce a sorted array.
