Quick Sort Presentation

The document provides an overview of the Quick Sort algorithm, including its implementation in C/C++, time complexity analysis, and real-world applications. Quick Sort is a Divide & Conquer algorithm that efficiently sorts large datasets by selecting a pivot and partitioning the array. The analysis shows its best and average case time complexity as O(n log n), while the worst case can be O(n²), which can be mitigated with better pivot selection strategies.

Quick Sort Implementation and

Analysis
Objective
• - Understand Quick Sort algorithm
• - Implement Quick Sort in C/C++
• - Measure execution time for different input
sizes
• - Analyze time complexity
Introduction to Quick Sort
• Quick Sort is a Divide & Conquer algorithm
• Select a pivot element and partition the array
• Recursively apply Quick Sort to subarrays
• Efficient for large datasets
Quick Sort Algorithm Steps
• 1. Select a pivot (e.g., last element)
• 2. Partition elements around pivot
• 3. Recursively sort left and right subarrays
Partition Function
• - Moves elements smaller than pivot to left,
larger to right
• - Returns the pivot’s correct position
• - Ensures recursive sorting of subarrays
