• Solve more problems to increase the probability of clearing interview.
  • quick sort is divide and conquer algorithm where a pivot element needs to be selected
  • partition array based on pivot element in two sub array
  • in the new arrays choose a pivot element again and repeat the steps of keeping partitioning
  • keep repeating till only one element length array are left
  • def quick_sort(arr): if len(arr) 1: return arr else: pivot = arr[0] left_arr = [x for x in arr[1:] if x < pivot] right_arr = [x for x in arr[1:] if x >= pivot] return quick_sort(left_arr) + [pivot] + quick_sort(right_arr)
