 Merge sort involves recursively splitting the array into 2 parts, sorting and finally merging them. A variant of merge sort is called 3-way merge sort where instead of splitting the array into 2 parts we split it into 3 parts.
 Merge sort recursively breaks down the arrays to subarrays of size half. Similarly, 3-way Merge sort breaks down the arrays to subarrays of size one third.
