Exercise-3: Write a program to find maximum and minimum element in a list (or an array) using Divide and Conquer strategy and analyze the time complexity. Also, calculate the actual CPU time it took find the minimum and maximum elements.

Steps to perform Divide and Conquer 1. To use divide and conquer as an algorithm design technique, you must divide the problem into two smaller sub problems, solve each of them recursively, and then merge the two partial solutions into one solution to the full problem. 2. Whenever the merging takes less time than solving the two sub problems, we get an efficient algorithm. Divide-and conquer is a general algorithm design paradigm: 1. Divide: divide the input data S in two or more disjoint subsets S1, S2, ... 2. Recurrence: solve the sub problems recursively 3. Conquer: combine the solutions for S1, S2, ..., into a solution for S.
