I know quicksort to have a runtime of $\\mathcal{O}(n \\log_2 n)$ However trying to solve for it I get something different and I am not sure why that is. Ok, so solving recurrence relations can be ...

This is the shortest implementation of Quick Sort algorithm (Without StackOverflowException)

Apr 9, 2017 · I have seen a step-by-step work-through of the partitioning algorithm, but I don't have an intuitive feel for it. In my code, it doesn't even seem to work. For example, given the array. 13 19 9 5 12 8 7 4 11 2 6 21 It will use pivot 13, but end up with the array. 6 2 9 5 12 8 7 4 11 19 13 21 And will return j which is a[j] = 11. I thought it ...

Sep 23, 2016 · The execution speed of the algorithm depends largely on how this mechanism is implemented, poor implementation can assume that the algorithm is run at a slow speed. The choice of pivot determines partitions the data list, therefore, this is the most critical part of the implementation of the Quicksort algorithm.

There are indeed a few minor problems in your description of the algorithm. One is that either step 3 or step 4 need to include elements that are equal to the pivot. Let's rewrite it like this: My understanding of quick sort is. Choose a pivot value (in this case, choose the value of the middle element) Initialize left and right pointers at ...

Deterministic quicksort algorithms usually have the drawback that either (1) they run in worst-case time O(n log n), but with a high constant factor, or (2) they run in worst-case time O(n 2) and the sort of input that triggers this case is deterministic.

Jun 7, 2013 · Your recurrence is mostly correct, but you don't actually have two recursive calls made. In the worst-case for quicksort, the pivot will be the largest or smallest element in the array, so you'll recur on one giant array of size n - 1.

There's nothing about the algorithm that requires the extra storage to be LIFO. The stack approach is more similar to the recursive description commonly used for Quicksort, but that's not actually an inherent part of the algorithm.
