solve this taskaccording to the task description, using any language you may know.
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.
Quicksort, also known as partition-exchange sort, uses these steps.
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 run-time of Quicksort ranges from O(n log n) with the best pivots, to O(n2) with the worst pivots, where n is the number of elements in the array.
This is a simple quicksort algorithm, adapted from Wikipedia.
function quicksort(array)
less, equal, greater := three empty arrays
if length(array) > 1
pivot := select any element of array
for each x in array
if x < pivot then add x to less
if x = pivot then add x to equal
if x > pivot then add x to greater
quicksort(less)
quicksort(greater)
array := concatenate(less, equal, greater)
A better quicksort algorithm works in place, by swapping elements within the array, to avoid the memory allocation of more arrays.
function quicksort(array)
if length(array) > 1
pivot := select any element of array
left := first index of array
right := last index of array
while left ≤ right
while array[left] < pivot
left := left + 1
while array[right] > pivot
right := right - 1
if left ≤ right
swap array[left] with array[right]
left := left + 1
right := right - 1
quicksort(array from first index to right)
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 merge sort, because both sorts have an average time of O(n log n).
Quicksort is at one end of the spectrum of divide-and-conquer algorithms, with merge sort at the opposite end.
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.
11lF _quicksort(&array, start, stop) -> Void
I stop - start > 0
V pivot = array[start]
V left = start
V right = stop
L left <= right
L array[left] < pivot
left++
L array[right] > pivot
right--
I left <= right
swap(&array[left], &array[right])
left++
right--
_quicksort(&array, start, right)
_quicksort(&array, left, stop)
F quicksort(&array)
_quicksort(&array, 0, array.len - 1)
V arr = [7, 6, 5, 9, 8, 4, 3, 1, 2, 0]
quicksort(&arr)

The functional programming way
function quickSort (array:Array):Array
{
if (array.length <= 1)
return array;
var pivot:Number = array[Math.round(array.length / 2)];
return quickSort(array.filter(function (x:Number, index:int, array:Array):Boolean { return x < pivot; })).concat(

quickSort(array.filter(function (x:Number, index:int, array:Array):Boolean { return x > pivot; })));
}
The faster way
function quickSort (array:Array):Array
{

return array;
var pivot:Number = array[Math.round(array.length / 2)];
var less:Array = [];
var equal:Array = [];

}
return quickSort(less).concat(

This example is implemented as a generic procedure.
The procedure specification is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Generic Quick_Sort procedure ----------------------------------------------------------------------- generic type Element is private; type Index is (<>); type Element_Array is array(Index range <>) of Element; with function "<" (Left, Right : Element) return Boolean is <>; procedure Quick_Sort(A : in out Element_Array);
The procedure body deals with any discrete index type, either an integer type or an enumerated type.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Generic Quick_Sort procedure
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure Quick_Sort (A : in out Element_Array) is
procedure Swap(Left, Right : Index) is
Temp : Element := A (Left);
begin
A (Left) := A (Right);
A (Right) := Temp;
end Swap;
begin
if A'Length > 1 then
declare
Pivot_Value : Element := A (A'First);
Right : Index := A'Last;
Left : Index := A'First;
begin
loop
while Left < Right and not (Pivot_Value < A (Left)) loop
Left := Index'Succ (Left);
end loop;
while Pivot_Value < A (Right) loop
Right := Index'Pred (Right);
end loop;
exit when Right <= Left;
Swap (Left, Right);
Left := Index'Succ (Left);
Right := Index'Pred (Right);
end loop;
if Right = A'Last then
Right := Index'Pred (Right);
Swap (A'First, A'Last);
end if;
if Left = A'First then
Left := Index'Succ (Left);
end if;
Quick_Sort (A (A'First .. Right));
Quick_Sort (A (Left .. A'Last));
end;
end if;
end Quick_Sort;
An example of how this procedure may be used is:
with Ada.Text_Io;
with Ada.Float_Text_IO; use Ada.Float_Text_IO;
with Quick_Sort;
procedure Sort_Test is
type Days is (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun);
type Sales is array (Days range <>) of Float;
procedure Sort_Days is new Quick_Sort(Float, Days, Sales);
procedure Print (Item : Sales) is
begin
for I in Item'range loop
Put(Item => Item(I), Fore => 5, Aft => 2, Exp => 0);

qsort ← {1≥≢∪⍵:⍵ ⋄ p←⍵[?≢⍵] ⋄ (∇(⍵≤p)/⍵) , ∇(⍵>p)/⍵}
qsort 31 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8
1 2 3 4 5 5 5 6 8 9 31
Of course, in real APL applications, one would use ⍋ (Grade Up) to sort (which will pick a sorting algorithm suited to the argument):
sort ← {⍵[⍋⍵]}

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 2 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 last is a one-past-end iterator. Note that this code takes advantage of std::partition, 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 mid).

Clojure
A very Haskell-like solution using list comprehensions and lazy evaluation.
(defn qsort [L]
(if (empty? L)
'()
(let [[pivot & L2] L]
(lazy-cat (qsort (for [y L2 :when (< y pivot)] y))
(list pivot)
(qsort (for [y L2 :when (>= y pivot)] y))))))
Another short version (using quasiquote):
(defn qsort [[pvt & rs]]
(if pvt
`(~@(qsort (filter #(< % pvt) rs))
~pvt
~@(qsort (filter #(>= % pvt) rs)))))
Another, more readable version (no macros):
(defn qsort [[pivot & xs]]
(when pivot
(let [smaller #(< % pivot)]
(lazy-cat (qsort (filter smaller xs))
[pivot]
(qsort (remove smaller xs))))))
A 3-group quicksort (fast when many values are equal):
(defn qsort3 [[pvt :as coll]]
(when pvt
(let [{left -1 mid 0 right 1} (group-by #(compare % pvt) coll)]
(lazy-cat (qsort3 left) mid (qsort3 right)))))
A lazier version of above (unlike group-by, filter returns (and reads) a lazy sequence)
(defn qsort3 [[pivot :as coll]]
(when pivot
(lazy-cat (qsort (filter #(< % pivot) coll))
(filter #{pivot} coll)
(qsort (filter #(> % pivot) coll)))))

A Functional version
import std.stdio : writefln, writeln;
import std.algorithm: filter;
import std.array;
T[] quickSort(T)(T[] xs) =>
xs.length == 0 ? [] :
xs[1 .. $].filter!(x => x< xs[0]).array.quickSort ~
xs[0 .. 1] ~
xs[1 .. $].filter!(x => x>=xs[0]).array.quickSort;
void main() =>

[-31, 0, 1, 2, 2, 4, 65, 83, 99, 782]
A simple high-level version (same output):
import std.stdio, std.array;
T[] quickSort(T)(T[] items) pure nothrow {
if (items.empty)
return items;
T[] less, notLess;
foreach (x; items[1 .. $])
(x < items[0] ? less : notLess) ~= x;
return less.quickSort ~ items[0] ~ notLess.quickSort;
}
void main() {
[4, 65, 2, -31, 0, 99, 2, 83, 782, 1].quickSort.writeln;
}
Often short functional sieves are not a true implementations of the Sieve of Eratosthenes: http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~oneill/papers/Sieve-JFP.pdf
Similarly, one could argue that a true QuickSort is in-place, as this more efficient version (same output):
import std.stdio, std.algorithm;
void quickSort(T)(T[] items) pure nothrow @safe @nogc {
if (items.length >= 2) {
auto parts = partition3(items, items[$ / 2]);
parts[0].quickSort;
parts[2].quickSort;
}
}
void main() {
auto items = [4, 65, 2, -31, 0, 99, 2, 83, 782, 1];
items.quickSort;
items.writeln;
}
Delphi
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.

type TPointerArray = array of Pointer;
procedure QuickSort(SortList: TPointerArray; L, R: Integer; SCompare: TListSortCompare);

Note that Go's sort.Sort function is a Quicksort so in practice it would be just be used. It's actually a combination of quick sort, heap sort, and insertion sort. It starts with a quick sort, after a depth of 2*ceil(lg(n+1)) it switches to heap sort, or once a partition becomes small (less than eight items) it switches to insertion sort.
Old school, following Hoare's 1962 paper.
As a nod to the task request to work for all types with weak strict ordering, code below uses the < operator when comparing key values. The three points are noted in the code below.
Actually supporting arbitrary types would then require at a minimum a user supplied less-than function, and values referenced from an array of interface{} types. More efficient and flexible though is the sort interface of the Go sort package. Replicating that here seemed beyond the scope of the task so code was left written to sort an array of ints.
Go has no language support for indexing with discrete types other than integer types, so this was not coded.
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.

Algorithm notes:
Note: This example relies on the supporting procedures 'sortop', and 'demosort' in Bubble Sort. The full demosort exercises the named sort of a list with op = "numeric", "string", ">>" (lexically gt, descending),">" (numerically gt, descending), a custom comparator, and also a string.

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.

Functional ES6
Using destructuring and satisfying immutability we can propose a single expresion solution (from https://github.com/ddcovery/expressive_sort)
const qsort = ([pivot, ...others]) =>
pivot === void 0 ? [] : [
...qsort(others.filter(n => n < pivot)),
pivot,
...qsort(others.filter(n => n >= pivot))
];
qsort( [ 11.8, 14.1, 21.3, 8.5, 16.7, 5.7 ] )
[ 5.7, 8.5, 11.8, 14.1, 16.7, 21.3 ]ES5
Unlike what happens with ES6, there are no destructuring nor lambdas, but we can ensure immutability and propose a single expression solution with standard anonymous functions
function qsort( xs ){
return xs.length === 0 ? [] : [].concat(
qsort( xs.slice(1).filter(function(x){ return x< xs[0] })),
xs[0],
qsort( xs.slice(1).filter(function(x){ return x>= xs[0] }))
)
}
qsort( [ 11.8, 14.1, 21.3, 8.5, 16.7, 5.7 ] )

jq's built-in sort currently (version 1.4) uses the standard C qsort, a quicksort. sort can be used on any valid JSON array.
Example:
[1, 1.1, [1,2], true, false, null, {"a":1}, null] | sort
[null,null,false,true,1,1.1,[1,2],{"a":1}]
Here is an implementation in jq of the pseudo-code (and comments :-) given at the head of this article:
def quicksort:
if length < 2 then . # it is already sorted
else .[0] as $pivot
| reduce .[] as $x
# state: [less, equal, greater]
( [ [], [], [] ]; # three empty arrays:
if $x < $pivot then .[0] += [$x] # add x to less
elif $x == $pivot then .[1] += [$x] # add x to equal
else .[2] += [$x] # add x to greater
end
)
| (.[0] | quicksort ) + .[1] + (.[2] | quicksort )
end ;
Fortunately, the example input used above produces the same output,
and so both are omitted here.
JuliaBuilt-in function for in-place sorting via quicksort (the code from the standard library is quite readable):
A simple polymorphic implementation of an in-place recursive quicksort (based on the pseudocode above):
function quicksort!(A,i=1,j=length(A))
if j > i
pivot = A[rand(i:j)] # random element of A
left, right = i, j
while left <= right
while A[left] < pivot
left += 1
end
while A[right] > pivot
right -= 1
end
if left <= right
A[left], A[right] = A[right], A[left]
left += 1
right -= 1
end
end
quicksort!(A,i,right)
quicksort!(A,left,j)
end
return A
end
A one-line (but rather inefficient) implementation based on the Haskell version, which operates out-of-place and allocates temporary arrays:
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])))

qsort:{$[2>#?x;x;,/o'x@&'~:\x<*1?x]}
This version partitions the array into [elements greater than or equal to the pivot], and [those less than the pivot], stopping recursion when the subarray contains only one unique element.
The $[...] works as $[if;then;else].
x<*1?x selects a random pivot and gives a logical mask (vector of 0’s and 1’s) where a 1 at index n indicates that the element at n is less than the pivot.
f\ successively applies f until the result converges (i.e., yields a result from a prior iteration), and collects the intermediate results (including the initial argument). Since f is negation here, this happens after one iteration. Each mask is coupled with its negation, e.g., ~:\0 1 1 produces (0 1 1;1 0 0).
x@&' converts each logical mask into corresponding indices, and uses them to index into array x, yielding the two partitions.
Finally, ,/o' recurses on each partition and joins the results.
A 3-partition version (faster if many elements are equal):
quicksort:{p:*x[1?#x];:[0=#x;x;,/(_f x[&x<p];x[&x=p];_f x[&x>p])]}
Example:
quicksort 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Explanation:
is the current function called recursively.
generally means :[condition1;then1;condition2;then2;....;else]. Here it is used as :[if;then;else].
This construct
assigns a random element in x (the argument) to p, as the pivot value.
And here is the full if/then/else clause:
:[
0=#x; / if length of x is zero
x; / then return x
/ else
,/( / join the results of:
_f x[&x<p] / sort (recursively) elements less than pivot p
x[&x=p] / elements equal to p
_f x[&x>p]) / sort (recursively) elements greater than p

Note that - as with APL and J - for larger arrays it's much faster to sort using "<" (grade up) which gives the indices of the list sorted ascending, i.e.
t@<t:1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Koka
Haskell-like solution
fun qsort( xs : list<int> ) : div list<int> {
match(xs) {
Cons(x,xx) -> {
val ys = xx.filter fn(el) { el < x }
val zs = xx.filter fn(el) { el >= x }
qsort(ys) ++ [x] ++ qsort(zs)
}
Nil -> Nil
}
}
or using standard partition function
fun qsort( xs : list<int> ) : div list<int> {
match(xs) {
Cons(x,xx) -> {
val (ys, zs) = xx.partition fn(el) { el < x }
qsort(ys) ++ [x] ++ qsort(zs)
}
Nil -> Nil
}
}
Example:
fun main() {
val arr = [24,63,77,26,84,64,56,80,85,17]
println(arr.qsort.show)
}
[17,24,26,56,63,64,77,80,84,85]Kotlin
A version that reflects the algorithm directly:
fun <E : Comparable<E>> List<E>.qsort(): List<E> =
if (size < 2) this
else filter { it < first() }.qsort() +
filter { it == first() } +
filter { it > first() }.qsort()
A more efficient version that does only one comparison per element:
fun <E : Comparable<E>> List<E>.qsort(): List<E> =
if (size < 2) this
else {
val (less, high) = subList(1, size).partition { it < first() }
less.qsort() + first() + high.qsort()
}Lambdatalk
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,

2) creating the tree is the main work:
{def T {BT.create {L}}}

This implements the pseudo-code in the specification. The input can be either a row or column vector, but the returned vector will always be a row vector. This can be modified to operate on any built-in primitive or user defined class by replacing the "<=" and ">" comparisons with "le" and "gt" functions respectively. This is because operators can not be overloaded, but the functions that are equivalent to the operators can be overloaded in class definitions.
This should be placed in a file named quickSort.m.
function sortedArray = quickSort(array)
if numel(array) <= 1 %If the array has 1 element then it can't be sorted
sortedArray = array;

%Create two new arrays which contain the elements that are less than or
%equal to the pivot called "less" and greater than the pivot called
%"greater"

greater = array( array > pivot );
%The sorted array is the concatenation of the sorted "less" array, the
%pivot and the sorted "greater" array in that order
sortedArray = [quickSort(less) pivot quickSort(greater)];
end
A slightly more vectorized version of the above code that removes the need for the less and greater arrays:
function sortedArray = quickSort(array)
if numel(array) <= 1 %If the array has 1 element then it can't be sorted
sortedArray = array;
return
end

The definition module exposes the interface. This one uses the procedure variable feature to pass a caller defined compare callback function so that it can sort various simple and structured record types.
This Quicksort assumes that you are working with an an array of pointers to an arbitrary type and are not moving the record data itself but only the pointers. The M2 type "ADDRESS" is considered compatible with any pointer type.
The use of type ADDRESS here to achieve genericity is something of a chink the the normal strongly typed flavor of Modula-2. Unlike the other language types, "system" types such as ADDRESS or WORD must be imported explicity from the SYSTEM MODULE. The ISO standard for the "Generic Modula-2" language extension provides genericity without the chink, but most compilers have not implemented this extension.

The implementation module is not visible to clients, so it may be changed without worry so long as it still implements the definition.
Sedgewick suggests that faster sorting will be achieved if you drop back to an insertion sort once the partitions get small.

To use this generic code to sort an array of text, we create two files called TextSort.i3 and TextSort.m3, respectively.
INTERFACE TextSort = ArraySort(Text) END TextSort.
MODULE TextSort = ArraySort(Text) END TextSort.
Then, as an example:
MODULE Main;
IMPORT IO, TextSort;
VAR arr := ARRAY [1..10] OF TEXT {"Foo", "bar", "!ooF", "Modula-3", "hickup",
"baz", "quuz", "Zeepf", "woo", "Rosetta Code"};
BEGIN
TextSort.Sort(arr);
FOR i := FIRST(arr) TO LAST(arr) DO
IO.Put(arr[i] & "\n");

Returning a new list:

return array
head, *tail = array
less = qsort([i for i in tail if i < head])
more = qsort([i for i in tail if i >= head])
return less + [head] + more
Sorting a list in place:

def _quicksort(array, start, stop):
if stop - start > 0:
pivot, left, right = array[start], start, stop

returnVersion 2 Elegant
A basic quicksort using the stack, but only for the pending partitions. Short and elegant.
Elegant:
procedure expose stem.
push 1 stem.0
do while queued() > 0
pull l r
if l < r then do
m = (l+r)%2; p = stem.m; i = l-1; j = r+1
do forever
do until stem.j <= p
j = j-1
end
do until stem.i >= p
i = i+1
end
if i < j then do
t = stem.i; stem.i = stem.j; stem.j = t
end
else
leave
end
push l j; push j+1 r
end
end
returnVersion 3 Recursive
Also a basic quicksort, but now using recursion as stated in the task. No stack usage.
Recursive:
procedure expose stem.
arg l r
m = (l+r)%2; p = stem.m
i = l; j = r
do while i <= j
do i = i while stem.i < p
end
do j = j by -1 while stem.j > p
end
if i <= j then do
t = stem.i; stem.i = stem.j; stem.j = t
i = i+1; j = j-1
end
end
if l < j then
call Recursive l j
if i < r then
call Recursive i r
returnVersion 6 Optimized
The fastest. As in Version 1, no recursion and no stack usage. The pending partitions are kept in small stems. For partitions < 11 items, a selection sort is employed. Pivot choice is optimized to prevent 'worst case' scenarios.
Optimized:
procedure expose stem.
n = stem.0; s = 1; sl.1 = 1; sr.1 = n
do until s = 0
l = sl.s; r = sr.s; s = s-1
do until l >= r
if r-l < 11 then do
do i = l+1 to r
a = stem.i
do j=i-1 by -1 to l while stem.j > a
k = j+1; stem.k = stem.j
end
k = j+1; stem.k = a
end
if s = 0 then
leave
l = sl.s; r = sr.s; s = s-1
end
else do
m = (l+r)%2
if stem.l > stem.m then do
t = stem.l; stem.l = stem.m; stem.m = t
end
if stem.l > stem.r then do
t = stem.l; stem.l = stem.r; stem.r = t
end
if stem.m > stem.r then do
t = stem.m; stem.m = stem.r; stem.r = t
end
i = l; j = r; p = stem.m
do until i > j
do i = i while stem.i < p
end
do j = j by -1 while stem.j > p
end
if i <= j then do
t = stem.i; stem.i = stem.j; stem.j = t
i = i+1; j = j-1
end
end
if j-l < r-i then do
if i < r then do
s = s+1; sl.s = i; sr.s = r
end
r = j
end
else do
if l < j then do
s = s+1; sl.s = l; sr.s = j
end

Or, using functional style (slower than the imperative style but faster than functional style in other languages):
fn main() {
let numbers = [4, 65, 2, -31, 0, 99, 2, 83, 782, 1];
println!("{:?}\n", quick_sort(numbers.iter()));
}

where
T: Iterator<Item = E>,
E: PartialOrd,
{
match v.next() {
None => Vec::new(),
Some(pivot) => {
let (lower, higher): (Vec<_>, Vec<_>) = v.partition(|it| it < &pivot);
let lower = quick_sort(lower.into_iter());
let higher = quick_sort(higher.into_iter());
lower.into_iter()
.chain(core::iter::once(pivot))
.chain(higher.into_iter())
.collect()
}
}
}
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 quicksort_range; this implementation is original.
What follows is a progression on genericity here.
First, a quick sort of a list of integers:
def sort(xs: List[Int]): List[Int] = xs match {
case Nil => Nil
case head :: tail =>
val (less, notLess) = tail.partition(_ < head) // Arbitrarily partition list in two
sort(less) ++ (head :: sort(notLess)) // Sort each half
}
Next, a quick sort of a list of some type T, given a lessThan function:
def sort[T](xs: List[T], lessThan: (T, T) => Boolean): List[T] = xs match {
case Nil => Nil
case x :: xx =>
val (lo, hi) = xx.partition(lessThan(_, x))
sort(lo, lessThan) ++ (x :: sort(hi, lessThan))
}
To take advantage of known orderings, a quick sort of a list of some type T, for which exists an implicit (or explicit) Ordering[T]:
def sort[T](xs: List[T])(implicit ord: Ordering[T]): List[T] = xs match {
case Nil => Nil
case x :: xx =>
val (lo, hi) = xx.partition(ord.lt(_, x))
sort[T](lo) ++ (x :: sort[T](hi))
}
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.
def sort[T <: Ordered[T]](xs: List[T]): List[T] = xs match {
case Nil => Nil
case x :: xx =>
val (lo, hi) = xx.partition(_ < x)
sort(lo) ++ (x :: sort(hi))
}
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:
def sort[T, C[T] <: scala.collection.TraversableLike[T, C[T]]]
(xs: C[T])
(implicit ord: scala.math.Ordering[T],
cbf: scala.collection.generic.CanBuildFrom[C[T], T, C[T]]): C[T] = {
// Some collection types can't pattern match
if (xs.isEmpty) {
xs
} else {
val (lo, hi) = xs.tail.partition(ord.lt(_, xs.head))
val b = cbf()
b.sizeHint(xs.size)
b ++= sort(lo)
b += xs.head
b ++= sort(hi)
b.result()
}
}
The type of our collection is "C[T]", and, by providing C[T] as a type parameter to TraversableLike, we ensure C[T] is capable of returning instances of type C[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 C[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 implicitly. Because we need that implicitly, then we need to ask for the "T => Ordering[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 from the list variant, since many of the Traversable collection types don't support pattern matching, "+:" or "::".

The distributing bipartition operator, *|, is useful for this algorithm. The pivot is chosen as the greater of the first two items, this being the least sophisticated method sufficient to ensure termination. The quicksort function is a higher order function parameterized by the relational predicate p, which can be chosen appropriately for the type of items in the list being sorted. This example demonstrates sorting a list of natural numbers.

Quick sort immutable sequence using crappy pivot choice:
fcn qtSort(list,cmp=Op("<")){ // sort immutable lists
fcn(list,cmp,N){ // spendy to keep recreating cmp
reg pivot=list[0], rest=list[1,*];
left,right:=rest.filter22(cmp,pivot);
N+=1;
T.extend(self.fcn(left,cmp,N),T(pivot),self.fcn(right,cmp,N));
}(list,cmp,0);
}
In place quick sort:
fcn qiSort(list,cmp='<){ // in place quick sort
fcn(list,left,right,cmp){
if (left<right){
// partition list
pivotIndex:=(left+right)/2; // or median of first,middle,last
pivot:=list[pivotIndex];
list.swap(pivotIndex,right); // move pivot to end
pivotIndex:=left;
i:=left; do(right-left){ // foreach i in ([left..right-1])
if(cmp(list[i],pivot)){ // not cheap
list.swap(i,pivotIndex);
pivotIndex+=1;
}
i+=1;
}
list.swap(pivotIndex,right); // move pivot to final place
// sort the partitions
self.fcn(list,left,pivotIndex-1,cmp);
return(self.fcn(list,pivotIndex+1,right,cmp));
}
}(list,0,list.len()-1,cmp);
list;
}
