QuickSort Visualization

Quick Sort Overview

Time Complexity

The time complexity of Quick Sort is O(n log n) on average, but O(n^2) in the worst case.

Space Complexity

The space complexity of Quick Sort is O(log n) due to the recursive stack space.

Applications

Quick Sort is used in various applications like:

  • Efficiently sorting large datasets.
  • Used in various libraries and frameworks as the default sort algorithm.

Advantages

Quick Sort is in-place and doesn't require additional space like Merge Sort.

Disadvantages

Quick Sort has a worst-case time complexity of O(n^2) which can be avoided with good pivot selection strategies.
