From 0 to 1 Data Structures & Algorithms in Java - Quick Sort

The video tutorial explains Quicksort, a divide and conquer sorting algorithm. It details how Quicksort uses a pivot to partition lists into smaller sublists, which are then sorted recursively. The tutorial includes a visualization of the algorithm, a step-by-step process, and a code explanation. It also discusses Quicksort's characteristics, such as its average case complexity, space requirements, and stability.

What is Quicksort and why is it preferred for sorting?

Explain how Quicksort partitions a list.

How does Quicksort differ from Mergesort?

What is the role of the pivot in the Quicksort algorithm?

What happens to the elements smaller and larger than the pivot during partitioning?

Describe the process of choosing a pivot in Quicksort.

What are the main methods used in the Quicksort algorithm?

What is the average case complexity of Quicksort?

List some characteristics of Quicksort.

Why is Quicksort often preferred over Mergesort in practice?
