'''Agenda:'''
 
* You will be practicing AP CS FRQs today
 
** Complete #1, 2, 4 (skip #3) of the [https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/apc/ap18-frq-computer-science-a.pdf 2018 AP CS FRQ]
 
** You must write your responses by hand (make sure your name and the question numbers are at the top)
 
** You may have your AP CS Java Quick Reference
 
** Spend no more than 22.5 minutes per question

'''Agenda:'''
 
* You will spend class time researching and learning about merge sort and its recursive implementation. By the end of class, you should be able to trace the merge sort algorithm on any given array of numbers. For example, you should be able to demonstrate the algorithm and how it works using some playing cards
