Merge Sort

A list is split into individual lists, these are then combined (2 lists at a time).

Register

A small storage area in the CPU used to store intermediate values or special data

Bubble Sort

A sort in which the first two items to be sorted are examined and exchanged if necessary to place them in the specified order; the second item is then compared with the third (exchanging them if required), the third is compared with the fourth, and the process is repeated until all pairs have been examined and all items are in the proper sequence.

data type declaration

A statement, such as int a;, that introduces a variable (in this case, a) and sets it up so that it can only store values of a particular data type (in this case, int).
