Quick Sort Definition

A popular sorting algorithm that picks an element from the list, and reorder the list so that all elements which are less than the chosen element come before the chosen element.

Divide and Conquer:
(1) Divide the input instance into several instances of the same problem of
smaller size.
 
(2) Recursively solve the problem on these smaller instances.
(3) Combine the solutions for the smaller instances to a solution for the original instance (so after the recursive calls, we do some “extra work” to find the solution for our original instance).
 

 

Quicksort Technique:Given an array of n elements

 

pick one element to use as pivot.

Partition elements into two sub-arrays, Elements less than or equal to pivot
Elements greater than pivot
