Discussion on: Understanding Merge Sort in Javascript.

const merge = (left, right) => {
  const resArr = [];
  let leftIdx = 0;
  let rightIdx = 0;

  while (leftIdx < left.length && rightIdx < right.length) {
    left[leftIdx] < right[rightIdx]
      ? resArr.push(left[leftIdx++])
      : resArr.push(right[rightIdx++]);
  }
  return [...resArr, ...left.slice(leftIdx), ...right.slice(rightIdx)];
};

const mergeSort = (arr) =>
  arr.length <= 1
    ? arr
    : merge(
        mergeSort(arr.slice(0, Math.floor(arr.length / 2))),
        mergeSort(arr.slice(Math.floor(arr.length / 2)))
      );
