Understanding quicksort algorithm


The strategy from the earlier example could be used to create an algorithm. To explain this algorithm, we will take an array as an input list, but the same algorithm can be applied to any list data structure.

Algorithm

The quicksort algorithm operates on an input array containing at least two elements. The process begins by selecting a pivot element from the array, which serves as a reference point for partitioning the other elements.
