Java Program to Implement Merge Sort Algorithm on Linked List

This is a java program to implement merge sort algorithm using linked list.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement Merge Sort Algorithm on Linked List. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.

    {
        LinkedList object = new LinkedList();
        Random random = new Random();
        int N = 20;
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
            object.insert(Math.abs(random.nextInt(100)));
 
        System.out.println("List items before sorting :");

        System.out.println("List items after sorting :");
        object.display();
    }
}

Output:

$ javac Merge_Sort.java
$ java Merge_Sort
 
List items before sorting :
[41] [11] [6] [13] [41] [62] [26] [46] [71] [16] [52] [57] [23] [81] [25] [4] [20] [75] [68] [51] 
List items after sorting :
[4] [6] [11] [13] [16] [20] [23] [25] [26] [41] [41] [46] [51] [52] [57] [62] [68] [71] [75] [81]
