  • Quicksort is an efficient sorting algorithm with O(n*logn) average running time. In this video I show you a quick example and how to implement this algorithm in Python step by step.
    This video is part of the basic algorithms in Python playlist. The goal is to get an understanding of basic computer science algorithms and their implementation in Python.

    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

    Could we also make the right endpoint just the very end of the array and the left at index 0? Or how would we do it if a different pivot was used?

  • @DJsteuph
    @DJsteuph 5 місяців тому

    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 7 місяців тому

    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 Рік тому +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"?

  • @abhiprit20
    @abhiprit20 2 роки тому

    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 2 роки тому

      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.

  • @SpencerBoucher
    @SpencerBoucher 2 роки тому +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 роки тому +6

      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?

      right means size of array i.e, 8
      here index will start from 0th so array[last_ment] =>array[8]
      it means we dont have 8th element in array
      thats why right -1

    If you run the sorting function, the result is None. This is because the sorting function does not Return anything.
    You may want to edit your code.

    • @kimstuart7989
      @kimstuart7989 2 роки тому

      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.

    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)
