O(1) constant (i.e. the time to run the algorithm is constant, not dependent on input size)
In which of the big O notation complexity classes is the merge sort runtime?
O(n log n) log-linear. An increase in input size results in a slightly greater than proportional increase in running time

Consider the following method header: public static <T extends Comparable<T>> TtripleMin(T item1, T item2, T item3) what happens if a call is TripleMin(i, j, k) but those arguments are of type Character?
The compiler creates a method with Character types and calls that method.

The compiler will generate an error, because T must be the same for all three arguments.

Why are generic classes used?
an consolidate a lot of code, instead of writing a method for each type you need, you can have a generic method that does it all in one. also is a bit of a safety net in case you are passing incorrect types at the same time, similar to how an interface works as a safety net.
