Quick sort is a highly efficient sorting algorithm and is based on the divide-and-conquer strategy. Here’s a detailed explanation of quick sort, including its time efficiency:
Quick Sort Algorithm
Divide: The array is divided into sub-arrays by selecting a pivot element (typically the last element, the first element, or a random element).
Partition: Rearrange the array elements so that:
Elements less than the pivot are on the left.
Elements greater than the pivot are on the right.
Conquer: Recursively apply the above steps to the sub-arrays of elements with smaller values and separately to the sub-arrays of elements with greater values.
Combine: The sub-arrays are combined to form the sorted array.
