Python 3: Project-based Python, Algorithms, Data Structures - Selection sort demonstration and complexity analysis

This video tutorial introduces the merge sort algorithm, focusing on setting up the function to merge two sorted lists into one. The instructor explains the initial setup, including defining lists and indices for iteration. The video covers comparing elements from two lists, appending the smaller element to a new sorted array, and testing the function's logic. The tutorial concludes with incrementing indices to ensure proper iteration through the lists, setting the stage for further steps in subsequent videos.

What happens when the value of the first list's index is less than the second list's index?

How does the program ensure that the correct index is incremented after an append operation?

What will be the next steps in the following video after completing the first step of merging?
