 Since this is a recursion based algorithm, we have a recurrence relation for it. A recurrence relation is simply a way of representing a problem in terms of its subproblems. 
 
-``` T(n) = 2 * T(n / 2) + O(n) ```
+```
+T(n) = 2 * T(n / 2) + O(n)

 Putting it in plain english, we break down the subproblem into two parts at every step and we have some linear amount of work that we have to do for merging the two sorted halves together at each step.

+* This sorting algorithm is better for linked lists than arrays as merge operation can be done without allocating extra space in a list. Learn more about it [here](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/why-quick-sort-preferred-for-arrays-and-merge-sort-for-linked-lists/ "Merge Sort vs Quick Sort").
