Overview & Explanation
Quick Sort is an efficient, divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm that selects a pivot element and partitions array elements around it.
How It Works
- Pick a pivot element (e.g. last element).
- Reorder array so elements less than pivot come before, greater come after.
- Recursively apply Quick Sort to sub-arrays.
Practical Applications
- High-performance in-memory sorting
- Standard library sort implementations
