Implementing Quicksort

The video tutorial explains the implementation of the Quicksort algorithm. It begins with setting up the main function and defining a helper function to handle recursive calls. The tutorial covers the base cases for recursion, selecting a pivot, and managing pointers. It also explains the logic for swapping elements and making recursive calls to sort subarrays. Finally, the video concludes with the final steps to return the sorted array.
