4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the primary purpose of Quicksort?
Think about what sorting algorithms aim to achieve.
What does partitioning mean in Quicksort?
Consider how elements are rearranged around a certain number.
What is the average-case time complexity of Quicksort?
Think back to the discussed scenarios for average performance.
True or False: The worst-case scenario of Quicksort occurs when the pivot is the median.
Remember the impact of pivot choices on performance.
Design a scenario with an array where Quicksort would perform at its worst-case time complexity. Explain why this occurs.
Consider how sorted inputs affect pivot choice.
Propose a method to implement randomized Quicksort and discuss its potential impact on sorting various datasets.
Think about maintaining efficiency across random inputs.
