<strong>Definition:</strong>
An <a href="inplacesort.html" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/inplacesort.html"><em>in-place sort</em></a> algorithm that uses the <a href="divideconqr.html" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/divideconqr.html"><em>divide and conquer</em></a> paradigm. It picks an element from the array (the pivot), partitions the remaining elements into those greater than and less than this pivot, and <a href="recursion.html" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/recursion.html"><em>recursively</em></a> sorts the partitions. There are many variants of the basic scheme above: to select the pivot, to partition the array, to stop the recursion on small partitions, etc.

<P><em>Note:
Quicksort has worst-case running time <a href="bigOnotation.html" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/bigOnotation.html"><em>O(n<sup>2</sup>)</em></a>, but it is typically O(n log n). In practical situations, a finely tuned implementation of quicksort beats most sort algorithms, including sort algorithms whose theoretical complexity is O(n log n) in the worst case. <P> The <a href="dutchnatlflg.html" tppabs="http://hissa.nist.gov/dads/HTML/dutchnatlflg.html"><em>Dutch National Flag</em></a> algorithm partitions quickly when there are many duplicates.</em>
