Quick Sort Using Java

QuickSort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm. It works by selecting a 'pivot' element from the array and partitioning the other elements into two sub-arrays, according to whether they are less than or greater than the pivot.


Implemented using Java:

class QuickSort 
{ 
	int partition(int arr[], int low, int high) 
	{ 
		int pivot = arr[high]; 
		int i = (low-1); 
		for (int j=low; j<high; j++) 
		{ 
			if (arr[j] <= pivot) 
			{ 
				i++; 	
				int temp = arr[i]; 
				arr[i] = arr[j]; 
				arr[j] = temp; 
			} 
		} 
		int temp = arr[i+1]; 
		arr[i+1] = arr[high]; 
		arr[high] = temp; 
		return i+1; 
	} 
	void sort(int arr[], int low, int high) 
	{ 
		if (low < high) 
		{
			int pi = partition(arr, low, high); 
			sort(arr, low, pi-1); 
			sort(arr, pi+1, high); 
		} 
	} 
	
	static void print_Array(int arr[]) 
	{ 
		int n = arr.length; 
		for (int i=0; i<n; ++i) 
			System.out.print(arr[i]+" "); 
		System.out.println(); 
	} 
	
	public static void main(String args[]) 
	{ 
		int arr[] = {10, 7, 8, 9, 1, 5}; 
		int n = arr.length; 

		QuickSort ob = new QuickSort(); 
		ob.sort(arr, 0, n-1); 

		System.out.println("sorted array"); 
		print_Array(arr); 
	} 
}
