    Of all the videos I watched on youtube for quick sort, I understood this one a lot better in a much more intuitive way.

    i've been searching for hours for a video that could explain exactly what happens when there is only 2 elements, and i finally got it! thanks a lot

    9:46 You forgot to say "- 1" after "right will be the length of the array" (since left starts at 0 and not 1).
    The explanation is great! I forgot about how this works after several years of no practice, but now I remembered everything!

    In your visual explanation, you mentioned a scenario where j < i. That will never happen in your code because both while loops break when i=j. Anyway, it's a good vid nonetheless. thanks

    Hey !your explanation is great.one quick question
    Python has line by line interpreter
    So,when we call partition function won't that cause declaration error because it should be declared first before calling...

  • @darcash1738

  • @DJsteuph
    @DJsteuph 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    when i does not get incremented if the while loop does not run at all initially, that then creates a negative -1 right parameter in the quicksort(arr, left, partition_pos-1) ,where partition_pos=0, function later on. Why isn't this a problem?

  • @samuelvalentine7846

    For me, i found another way to do the partitioning using a for loop in python
    def partition(arr, high, low=0):
    if not arr and not high:
    return 'No array and no upperbound'
    pivot = arr[high]
    partion_at = low
    for j in range(low, high):
    if arr[j]

  • @ermiasendale
    @ermiasendale ปีที่แล้ว

    Why don't we use "if array[i] > pivot and i > j "# indicating that they have crossed each other instead of "if array[i] > pivot:" since our objective is to handle the scenario where they cross each other?

  • @PureCrimsonLotus
    @PureCrimsonLotus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    At 11:08, you say "the j that defines the point right of the pivot," but if the pivot is always the last element in the array, nothing can be to its right. Did you mean "the point left of the pivot"?

    • @zakthesquirrel7621

  • @SpencerBoucher
    @SpencerBoucher 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm having trouble understanding one thing. After i and j meet, shouldn't we just unconditionally exchange arr[i] and the pivot? Why do we check that arr[i] > arr[right] at that point? Shouldn't the pivot be placed at that point that i and j meet in order to be properly sorted?

    • @jacqueline2330
      @jacqueline2330 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      i think the check is considering the case that only TWO elements were left. we always pick up the last element as our pivot, and the remaining one will become the one=i=j automatically. so we should check it first before we swap them. Like in the video 8:27, what if we have 77 88 left already inplace instead of 88 77?

    ok, I posted a comment before that was incorrect. I was missing a piece of code - Works wonderfully - Here is another example in python of quickSort application
    Check my function below and works for any example of an array.
    def quickSort(dataset, first, last):
    if first < last:
    pivotIdx = partition(dataset, first, last)
    # now sort the two partitions
    quickSort(dataset, first, pivotIdx-1)
    quickSort(dataset, pivotIdx+1, last)
    def partition(datavalues, first, last):
    # choose the first item as the pivot value
    pivotvalue = datavalues[first]
    # establish the upper and lower indexes
    lower = first + 1
    upper = last
    # start searching for the crossing point
    done = False
    while not done:
    # TODO: advance the lower index
    while lower = lower:
    upper -= 1
    # TODO: if the two indexes cross, we have found the split point
    if upper < lower:
    done = True
    else: # if they haven't cross each other
    temp = datavalues[lower]
    datavalues[lower] = datavalues[upper]
    datavalues[upper] = temp
    temp = datavalues[first]
    datavalues[first] = datavalues[upper]
    datavalues[upper] = temp
    # return the split point index
    return upper
    # test the merge sort with data
    print(items)
    quickSort(items, 0, len(items)-1)
    print(items)

  • @abhiprit20

    Instead of passing list as input, if tuple, dictionary, set is passed. So will the time complexity of the algorithm remains same or will differ?
    Thanks,

    • @jesmigeorge4936
      @jesmigeorge4936 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Now this won't work on tuple i suppose because tuples are immutable and in this algorithm we swap and make changes in place itself. So.. Nope it won't work for tuples.it would give us error... So it's time complexity might not be there with tuples.

    Could you please explain me what will the space complexity be ?

    • @77elite9
      @77elite9 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I may be late but Quicksort has O(logn) space complexity. This is due to the algorithm recursively calling itself which takes up space in memory because it must remember where it was in the previous levels of recursion. Because Quicksort on average has log base (4/3) of n recursion levels as that is the average partition for Quicksort and log base (4/3) of n is in O(logn), that is its space complexity.

    If you run the sorting function, the result is None. This is because the sorting function does not Return anything.

    • @kimstuart7989
      @kimstuart7989 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      works fine for me. It isn't returning anything because this algorithm is designed to be in-place and it is just modifying the original array itself. print your array, call quick_sort(), then print your same array again and you will see it sorted. If you want, you can add return arr at the end of your quick_sort function, then in your main call it using sorted_array = quick_sort(), but it's not necessary.
