MSTICK complexity

Please check my solution of mstick id=2174090 here i am using merge_sort procedure to find max-min where my merge only find max or min means complexity of my merge is O(constt) or O(1) we can say.
void merge(int *arr,int p,int q,int r)
{
int L=arr[p],M=arr[q+1],R=arr[r];
if(arr[p]>arr[q+1])
{
arr[p]=M;
arr[q+1]=L;
}
if(arr[r]<arr[q])
{
arr[r]=arr[q];
arr[q]=R;
}
}
but again i am getting TLE why? since my program also find max or min O(lgn).PLZ HELP!!!
