algorithm - Understanding quicksort - Stack Overflow
algorithm quicksort(A, lo, hi) is if lo < hi then p := partition(A, lo, hi) quicksort(A, lo, p) quicksort(A, p + 1, hi) Hoare partition scheme vs Lomuto partition scheme The pivot selection 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 ...

algorithm - Quicksort with Python - Stack Overflow
Quicksort is not very practical in Python since our builtin timsort algorithm is quite efficient, and we have recursion limits. We would expect to sort lists in-place with list.sort or create new sorted lists with sorted - both of which take a key and reverse argument.

Why is quicksort better than mergesort? - Stack Overflow
Quicksort has less overhead, so with small n and slow computers, it is better. But computers are so fast today that the additional overhead of a mergesort is negligible, and the risk of a very slow quicksort far outweighs the insignificant overhead of a mergesort in most cases.

algorithm - Quick Sort Vs Merge Sort - Stack Overflow
Quicksort is also more complicated than mergesort, especially if you want to write a really solid implementation, and so if you're aiming for simplicity and maintainability, merge sort becomes a promising alternative with very little performance loss.

Intuitive explanation for why QuickSort is n log n?
Therefore, a good intuition for why quicksort runs in time O (n log n) is the following: each layer in the recursion tree does O (n) work, and since each recursive call has a good chance of reducing the size of the array by at least 25%, we'd expect there to be O (log n) layers before you run out of elements to throw away out of the array.

Quicksort with first element as pivot example - Stack Overflow
I am currently studying quicksort and would like to know how it works when the first (or last) element is chosen as the pivot point. Say for example I have the following array: {15, 19, 34, 41, 2...

Comparison between timsort and quicksort - Stack Overflow
Why is it that I mostly hear about Quicksort being the fastest overall sorting algorithm when, according to Wikipedia, Timsort seems to perform much better?
