Quicksort inplace algorithm in Java



Quicksort algorithm is an efficient (based on asymptotic complexity) algorithm for sorting. Some of the leading languages uses quicksort as its algorithm for sorting in their native libraries. In worse case it has BigO of n^2 and in average case it has a BigO of n log n . Before discussing about the in-place version lets see how its implemented without in-place rearrangements. Here is one such implementation below:

n log(n)1



If you are interested in a C implementation of the below algorithm see the following link: C implementation of inplace Quicksort.

If you are interested in the implementation in python please click the following link: Python implementation of inplace quicksort

MergeSort Algorithm in Java

Mergesort algorithm is a divide and conquer algorithm. Its not efficient as Quicksort algorithm but in some cases Mergesort is better than Quicksort. For example its a linked list then Quicksort is costly since in a linkedlist accessing random elements is costly , since in Quicksort elements to be accessed randomly.
