Quicksort Algorithm

File:Sorting quicksort anim.gif Animated visualization of the quicksort algorithm. The horizontal lines are pivot values.
Class	Sorting algorithm
Worst-case performance	O(n2)
Best-case performance	O(n log n) (simple partition) or O(n) (three-way partition and equal keys)
Average performance	O(n log n)
Worst-case space complexity	O(n) auxiliary (naive) O(log n) auxiliary (Hoare 1962)
Optimal	No
