Sorting - A Quicksort Inplace algorithm in Python


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:


Asymptotic Complexity
SomethingTime ComplexitySpace Complexity
Worst Case PerformanceO (n^2)
Best Case PerformanceO (n log n )
Average Case PerformanceO(n log n)
Worst Case space Complexity
O (log n) (for in-place)


The above algorithm uses two new arrays for its implementation and thereby does a bad job with regard to space complexity. Here is an inplace quicksort algorithm implementation in Python

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

Printing level order algorithim

Two types of search are popular in Binary Tree. Breadth First Search (BFS) and Depth First Search (DFS) . Printing the level order is slightly complex since you need to keep track of the height of the particular node to implement the level order printing. Its a kind of BFS node tracking using the height.
Here is a c implementation of printing level order for a Binary Tree.

String to Integer Implementation

The logic for doing String to Integer implementation is rather simple. Mostly handling the corner cases is what one needs to be care full about. The code should be followed by unit tests to check the validity will help to establish credibility for the code.

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:


Asymptotic Complexity
