QUESTION:

Sort 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5 using quicksort with median-of-three partitioningand a cutoff of 3.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

Quick sort is one of the sorting algorithms. The general quick sort algorithm doesn’t perform very well in reverse. It gives quadratic time complexity on the reverse data and is inefficient on small partitions. The performance of the quick sort algorithm can be improved by median-of-three partitioning and using a cutoff of 3.
