Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 12RQE
Write a function
ListNode *removeFirst(ListNode *ptr)
that is passed a linked list as parameter and returns the tail of the list: That is, it removes the first node and returns what is left. The function should deallocate the storage of the removed node. The function returns nullptr if the list passed to it is empty.

Objective
Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort and analyze its efficiency compared to
recursive MergeSort. Unlike the recursive approach, which involves multiple function
calls and stack overhead, the bottom-up version sorts iteratively by merging small
subarrays first, reducing recursion depth and improving performance.
Task
1. Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort
о Start with single-element subarrays and iteratively merge them into larger
sorted sections.
Use a loop-based merging process instead of recursion.
○ Implement an efficient in-place merging strategy if possible.
2. Performance Analysis
Compare execution time with recursive MergeSort on random, nearly
sorted, and reversed datasets.
○ Measure and plot time complexity vs. input size.

- Given a shared data set, we allow multiple readers to read at the same time, and only one single writer can access the shared data at the same time. In the lecture slides, a solution is given. However, the problem is that the write cannot write forever, if there are always at least one reader. How to ensure that the writer can eventually write?
