The task is to sort an array (or list) elements using the ''quicksort'' algorithm.
The elements must have a strict weak order and the index of the array can be of any discrete type. For languages where this is not possible, sort an array of integers.
 
;Task:
Quicksort, also known as ''partition-exchange sort'', uses these steps.
Sort an array (or list) elements using the   [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort ''quicksort'']   algorithm.
 
The elements must have a   [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_ordering strict weak order]   and the index of the array can be of any discrete type.
# Choose any element of the array to be the pivot.
 
# Divide all other elements (except the pivot) into two partitions.
For languages where this is not possible, sort an array of integers.
#* All elements less than the pivot must be in the first partition.
 
#* All elements greater than the pivot must be in the second partition.
 
# Use recursion to sort both partitions.
#Quicksort, Joinalso theknown firstas sorted  ''partition, the-exchange pivotsort'', and  theuses secondthese sorted partitionsteps.
 
::#   Choose any element of the array to be the pivot.
::#   Divide all other elements (except the pivot) into two partitions.
::#*   All elements less than the pivot must be in the first partition.
::#*   All elements greater than the pivot must be in the second partition.
::#   Use recursion to sort both partitions.
::#   Join the first sorted partition, the pivot, and the second sorted partition.
 
<br>
The best pivot creates partitions of equal length (or lengths differing by &nbsp; '''1''').
 
The worst pivot creates an empty partition (for example, if the pivot is the first or last element of a sorted array).
 
The run-time of Quicksort ranges from &nbsp; <big> ''[[O]](n ''log'' n)'' </big> &nbsp; with the best pivots, to &nbsp; <big> ''[[O]](n<sup>2</sup>)'' </big> &nbsp; with the worst pivots, where &nbsp; <big> ''n'' </big> &nbsp; is the number of elements in the array.
 
The best pivot creates partitions of equal length (or lengths differing by 1). The worst pivot creates an empty partition (for example, if the pivot is the first or last element of a sorted array). The runtime of Quicksort ranges from ''[[O]](n ''log'' n)'' with the best pivots, to ''[[O]](n<sup>2</sup>)'' with the worst pivots, where ''n'' is the number of elements in the array.
 
This is a simple quicksort algorithm, adapted from Wikipedia.
Line 50 ⟶ 64:
quicksort(array '''from''' left '''to last index''')
 
Quicksort has a reputation as the fastest sort. Optimized variants of quicksort are common features of many languages and libraries. One often contrasts quicksort with &nbsp; [[../Merge sort|merge sort]], &nbsp; because both sorts have an average time of &nbsp; <big> ''[[O]](n ''log'' n)''. </big>
 
: ''"On average, mergesort does fewer comparisons than quicksort, so it may be better when complicated comparison routines are used. Mergesort also takes advantage of pre-existing order, so it would be favored for using sort() to merge several sorted arrays. On the other hand, quicksort is often faster for small arrays, and on arrays of a few distinct values, repeated many times."'' — http://perldoc.perl.org/sort.html
Line 59 ⟶ 73:
* Merge sort is a divide-then-conquer algorithm. The partioning happens in a trivial way, by splitting the input array in half. Most of the work happens during the recursive calls and the merge phase.
 
<br>
With quicksort, every element in the first partition is less than or equal to every element in the second partition. Therefore, the merge phase of quicksort is so trivial that it needs no mention!
 
This task has not specified whether to allocate new arrays, or sort in place. This task also has not specified how to choose the pivot element. (Common ways to are to choose the first element, the middle element, or the median of three elements.) Thus there is a variety among the following implementations.

=== A quicksort working on arrays of linear elements ===
 
 
The quicksort for arrays of non-linear elements ''makes a copy'' of the pivot value, and compares this copy with array elements ''by value''. Here, however, the array elements are ''linear'' values. They cannot be copied, unless a special "copy" procedure is provided. We do not want to require such a procedure. So we must do something else.
 
What we do is move the pivot to the last element of the array, by safely swapping it with the original last element. We partition the array to the left of the last element, comparing array elements with the pivot (that is, the last element) ''by reference''.

Instead of comparing elements explicitly, this solution puts the two elements-to-compare in a sum. After evaluating the sum its terms are sorted. Numbers are sorted numerically, strings alphabetically and compound expressions by comparing nodes and leafs in a left-to right order. Now there are three cases: either the terms stayed put, or they were swapped, or they were equal and were combined into one term with a factor <code>2</code> in front. To not let the evaluator add numbers together, each term is constructed as a dotted list.

The following implements quicksort with a median-of-three pivot. As idiomatic in C++, the argument <tt>last</tt> is a one-past-end iterator. Note that this code takes advantage of <tt>std::partition</tt>, which is O(n). Also note that it needs a random-access iterator for efficient calculation of the median-of-three pivot (more exactly, for O(1) calculation of the iterator <tt>mid</tt>).

The following implements quicksort with a median-of-three pivot. As idiomatic in C++, the argument <tt>last</tt> is a one-past-end iterator. Note that this code takes advantage of <tt>std::partition</tt>, which is O(n). Also note that it needs a random-access iterator for efficient calculation of the median-of-three pivot (more exactly, for O(1) calculation of the iterator <tt>mid</tt>).

This quick sort routine is infinitely versatile. It sorts an array of pointers. The advantage of this is that pointers can contain anything, ranging from integers, to strings, to floating point numbers to objects. The way each pointer is interpreted is through the compare routine, which is customized for the particular situation. The compare routine can interpret each pointer as a string, an integer, a float or an object and it can treat those items in different ways. For example, the order in which it compares strings controls whether the sort is alphabetical or reverse alphabetical. In this case, I show an integer sort, an alphabetic string sort, a reverse alphabetical string sort and a string sort by length.

Finally, the choice of a recursive closure over passing slices to a recursive function is really just a very small optimization. Slices are cheap because they do not copy the underlying array, but there's still a tiny bit of overhead in constructing the slice object. Passing just the two numbers is in the interest of avoiding that overhead.

The specification on rosettacode says
▪ All elements less than the pivot must be in the first partition.
▪ All elements greater than the pivot must be in the second partition.
Since this specification neither says "less than or equal" nor
"greater or equal", this quicksort implementation removes duplicate elements.

jq's built-in <tt>sort</tt> currently (version 1.4) uses the standard C qsort, a quicksort. <tt>sort</tt> can be used on any valid JSON array.
 
Example:<langsyntaxhighlight lang="jq">[1, 1.1, [1,2], true, false, null, {"a":1}, null] | sort</langsyntaxhighlight>{{Out}}<langsyntaxhighlight lang="jq">[null,null,false,true,1,1.1,[1,2],{"a":1}]</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Here is an implementation in jq of the pseudo-code (and comments :-) given at the head of this article:<langsyntaxhighlight lang="jq">def quicksort:
if length < 2 then . # it is already sorted
else .[0] as $pivot
Line 2,193 ⟶ 6,043:
| (.[0] | quicksort ) + .[1] + (.[2] | quicksort )
end ;
</langsyntaxhighlight>Fortunately, the example input used above produces the same output,
and so both are omitted here.

Built-in function for in-place sorting via quicksort (the [https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/2364748377f2a79c0485fdd5155ec2116c9f0d37/base/sort.jl#L259-L296 code from the standard library is quite readable]):
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="julia">sort!(A, alg=QuickSort)</langsyntaxhighlight>
A simple polymorphic implementation of an in-place recursive quicksort (based on the pseudocode above):
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="julia">function quicksort!(A,i=1,j=length(A))
if j > i
pivot = A[rand(i:j)] # random element of A
Line 2,221 ⟶ 6,071:
end
return A
end</langsyntaxhighlight>
A one-line (but rather inefficient) implementation based on the Haskell version, which operates out-of-place and allocates temporary arrays:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="julia">qsort(L) = isempty(L) ? L : vcat(qsort(filter(x -> x < L[1], L[2:end])), L[1:1], qsort(filter(x -> x >= L[1], L[2:end])))</langsyntaxhighlight>

We create a binary tree from a random array, then we walk the canopy.
 
1) three functions for readability:
{def BT.data {lambda {:t} {A.get 0 :t}}} -> BT.data
{def BT.left {lambda {:t} {A.get 1 :t}}} -> BT.left
{def BT.right {lambda {:t} {A.get 2 :t}}} -> BT.right
 
2) adding a leaf to the tree:
 
{def BT.add {lambda {:x :t}
{if {A.empty? :t}
then {A.new :x {A.new} {A.new}}
else {if {= :x {BT.data :t}}
then :t
else {if {< :x {BT.data :t}}
then {A.new {BT.data :t}
{BT.add :x {BT.left :t}}
{BT.right :t}}
else {A.new {BT.data :t}
{BT.left :t}
{BT.add :x {BT.right :t}} }}}}}}
-> BT.add
 
3) creating the tree from an array of numbers:
 
{def BT.create
{def BT.create.rec
{lambda {:l :t}
{if {A.empty? :l}
then :t
else {BT.create.rec {A.rest :l}
{BT.add {A.first :l} :t}} }}}
{lambda {:l}
{BT.create.rec :l {A.new}} }}
-> BT.create
 
4) walking the canopy -> sorting in increasing order:
 
{def BT.sort
{lambda {:t}
{if {A.empty? :t}
then else {BT.sort {BT.left :t}}
{BT.data :t}
{BT.sort {BT.right :t}} }}}
-> BT.sort
 
Testing
 
1) generating random numbers:
 
{def L {A.new
{S.map {lambda {:n} {floor {* {random} 100000}}} {S.serie 1 100}}}}
-> L = [1850,7963,50540,92667,72892,47361,19018,40640,10126,80235,48407,51623,63597,71675,27814,63478,18985,88032,46585,85209,

To use this generic code to sort an array of text, we create two files called TextSort.i3 and TextSort.m3, respectively.
 
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="modula3">INTERFACE TextSort = ArraySort(Text) END TextSort.</langsyntaxhighlight>
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="modula3">MODULE TextSort = ArraySort(Text) END TextSort.</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Then, as an example:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="modula3">MODULE Main;
 
IMPORT IO, TextSort;
Line 2,817 ⟶ 7,449:
IO.Put(arr[i] & "\n");
END;

By the way this implementation needs only O(n) memory because the partition(...) call already "consumes" v. This means that the memory of v will be freed here, before the recursive calls to quick_sort(...). If we tried to use v later, we would get a compilation error.

The ARRAY class has a builtin sorting method, which is quicksort (but under certain condition an insertion sort is used instead), exactly <code>quicksort_range</code>; this implementation is original.
 
=={{header|Scala}}==
I'llWhat showfollows is a progression on genericity here.
 
First, a quick sort of a list of integers:
 
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="scala"> def quicksortIntsort(collxs: List[Int]): List[Int] = xs match {
case Nil => Nil
if (coll.isEmpty) {
case head :: tail =>
coll
val (less, notLess) = tail.partition(_ < head) // Arbitrarily partition list in two
} else {
sort(less) ++ (head :: sort(notLess)) // Sort each half
val (smaller, bigger) = coll.tail partition (_ < coll.head)
}</syntaxhighlight>
quicksortInt(smaller) ::: coll.head :: quicksortInt(bigger)
}</lang>
 
Next, a quick sort of a list of some type T, given a lessThan function:
 
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="scala"> def quicksortFuncsort[T](collxs: List[T], lessThan: (T, T) => Boolean): List[T] = xs match {
case Nil => Nil
if (coll.isEmpty) {
collcase x :: xx =>
val (lo, hi) = xx.partition(lessThan(_, x))
} else {
val sort(smallerlo, biggerlessThan) =++ coll.tail(x partition:: sort(lessThan(_hi, coll.headlessThan))
}</syntaxhighlight>
quicksortFunc(smaller, lessThan) ::: coll.head :: quicksortFunc(bigger, lessThan)
}</lang>
 
To take advantage of known orderings, a quick sort of a list of some type T,
for which exists an implicit (or explicit) OrderedOrdering[T]:
 
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="scala"> def quicksortOrdsort[T](xs: <% OrderedList[T]])(collimplicit ord: ListOrdering[T]): List[T] = xs match {
case Nil => Nil
if (coll.isEmpty) {
collcase x :: xx =>
val (lo, hi) = xx.partition(ord.lt(_, x))
} else {
sort[T](lo) ++ (x :: sort[T](hi))
val (smaller, bigger) = coll.tail partition (_ < coll.head)
}</syntaxhighlight>
quicksortOrd(smaller) ::: coll.head :: quicksortOrd(bigger)
}</lang>
 
That last one could have worked with Ordering, but Ordering is Java, and doesn't have
the less than operator. Ordered is Scala-specific, and provides it.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="scala"> def sort[T <: Ordered[T]](xs: List[T]): List[T] = xs match {
What hasn't changed in all these examples is that I'm ordering a list. It is possible
case Nil => Nil
case x :: xx =>
val (lo, hi) = xx.partition(_ < x)
sort(lo) ++ (x :: sort(hi))
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
What hasn't changed in all these examples is ordering a list. It is possible
to write a generic quicksort in Scala, which will order any kind of collection. To do
so, however, requires that the type of the collection, itself, be made a parameter to
the function. Let's see it below, and then remark upon it:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="scala"> def sort[T, C[T] <: scala.collection.TraversableLike[T, C[T]]]
<lang scala>def quicksort
(xs: C[T])
[T, CC[X] <: Seq[X] with SeqLike[X, CC[X]]] // My type parameters
(implicit ord: scala.math.Ordering[T],
(coll: CC[T]) // My explicit parameter
(implicit o: T => Ordered[T], cbf: scala.collection.generic.CanBuildFrom[CCC[T], T, CCC[T]]): //C[T] My implicit= parameters{
// Some collection types can't pattern match
: CC[T] = // My return type
if (collxs.isEmpty) {
coll xs
} else {
val (smallerlo, biggerhi) = collxs.tail .partition (ord.lt(_, < collxs.head))
val b = cbf()
quicksort(smaller) ++ (coll.head +: quicksort(bigger))
b.sizeHint(xs.size)
}</lang>
b ++= sort(lo)
b += xs.head
b ++= sort(hi)
b.result()
}
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
That will only work starting with Scala 2.8. The type of our collection is "CCC[T]", and,
by providing CCC[XT] as a type parameter to TraversableLike, we ensure CCC[T] is capable
of returingreturning instances of type CCC[T]. Traversable is the base type of all collections,
and TraversableLike is a trait which contains the implementation of most Traversable
methods.
 
We need another parameter, though, which is a factory capable of building a CCC[T] collection.
That is being passed implicitly, so callers to this method do not need to provide them, as
the collection they are using should already provide one as such implicitimplicitly. Because we need that
implicitimplicitly, then we need to ask for the "T => OrderedOrdering[T]" as well, as the "T <%: Ordered[T]"
which provides it cannot be used in conjunction with implicit parameters.
 
The body of the function is pretty muchfrom the samelist ofvariant, thesince bodymany forof the list variant, butTraversable
collection types don't support pattern matching, "+:" or "::".
using "++" instead of list-specific methods "::" and ":::", and using "coll.companion"
to build a collection out of one element.
 
We can also use pattern matching here - the first version of quicksortInt would look like that:
<lang scala>def quicksortInt(list: List[Int]): List[Int] = list match {
case List(head) => list
case head :: tail =>
val (smaller, bigger) = tail partition (_ < head)
quicksortInt(smaller) ::: head :: quicksortInt(bigger)
case _ => list

Quick sort immutable sequence using crappy pivot choice:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="zkl">fcn qtSort(list,cmp=Op("<")){ // sort immutable lists
fcn(list,cmp,N){ // spendy to keep recreating cmp
reg pivot=list[0], rest=list[1,*];
Line 4,646 ⟶ 10,539:
T.extend(self.fcn(left,cmp,N),T(pivot),self.fcn(right,cmp,N));
}(list,cmp,0);
}</langsyntaxhighlight>
In place quick sort:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="zkl">fcn qiSort(list,cmp='<){ // in place quick sort
fcn(list,left,right,cmp){
if (left<right){
Line 4,671 ⟶ 10,564:
