Algorithm Cont …. 40 Sort the array according to the x-coordinates at first as preprocessing step. P[ ] = {13, 12, 11, 0, 14, 16, 1, 10, 17, 9, 2, 15, 3, 8, 4, 5, 7, 6} Find the middle point in sorted array. We can take P[n/2] as the middle point. P[ ] = {13, 12, 11, 0, 14, 16, 1, 10, 17, 9, 2, 15, 3, 8, 4, 5, 7, 6} 2. Divide the array in two halves. The first subarray contains points for P[0] to P[n/2] and the second subarray contains points from P[n/2+1] to P[n-1]. = {13, 12, 11, 0, 14, 16, 1, 10, 17} = {9, 2, 15, 3, 8, 4, 5, 7, 6}
