    Talking Need help with merge sort algorithm

    Hello.

    I am trying to code a merge sort algoritm, using my knowledge of C++. I have made some code but it is not working. It is giving some random results.

    Can you please look at my code and see improvements I can make.

    Thanks?

    Code:
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    void print(int *niz) {
        for (int f1=0; niz[f1]!='\0'; f1++) {
            cout << niz[f1] << " ";
        }
        cout << endl;
    }
    
    void merge(int *niz, int low, int medium, int high) {    
        int *niz2 = new int[high-low];
        
        int bottom = low;
        int top = medium-1;
        
        for (int f1=low; f1<high; f1++) {
            if(bottom>medium) {
                niz2[f1-low] = niz[top++];
            }
            else if(top>high) {
                niz2[f1-low] = niz[bottom++];
            }
            else if(niz[bottom]<niz[top]) {
                niz2[f1-low] = niz[bottom++];
            }
            else {
                niz2[f1-low] = niz[top++];            
            }
        }
        
        for (int f1=low; f1<high; f1++) {
            niz[f1]=niz2[f1-low];
        }
        
        delete [] niz2;
    }
    
    void merge_sort(int *niz, int low, int high) {
        if(low < high) {
            int middle = (high+low)/2;
            merge_sort(niz, low, middle);
            merge_sort(niz, middle+1, high);
            merge(niz, low, middle, high);
        }
    }
    
    int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    
        srand((unsigned)time(0));
        
        int velicina = 10;
        int *niz = new int[velicina];
        
        for (int f1=0; f1<velicina; f1++) {
            niz[f1] = rand()%10+1;
        }
        
        print(niz);
        
        merge_sort(niz, 0, velicina-1);
        
        print(niz);
        cout << "kraj" << endl;
        
        return 0;
    }

    OK, so what have you done to debug your own code? Have you used the debugger that comes with your compiler to see where things are going wrong?
