A _ [WBUT 2007, 200,
In Quick-Sort We divide the array i i
i T y into two halves. We select a pivot element (
ihe’ mide clement of the array) & perform a sorting in such a manner thal
lemen ee the left of the pivot element is lesser than it & all the elements toi
rater than the pivot element. Thus we get two sub arrays. Then we recursively
ou function on these two sub arrays to perform the necessary sorting.
