Quick sort is a faster sorting method with less time complexity. Quick sort uses divide and conquer approcah to sort elements.

Time complexity of Quick sort:

Best Case Time Complexity of Quick Sort: O(n*log n)

Average case Time Complexity of Quick Sort: O(n*log n)

Worst Case Time Complexity of Quick Sort: O(n2)

C Program to Implement Quick Sort:

/* Write C program that implement Quick sort in ascending order */

include

define MAX 10

void swap(int *m,int *n)
{
int temp;
temp = *m;
*m = *n;
*n = temp;
}
int get_key_position(int x,int y )
{
return((x+y) /2);
}

// Function for Quick Sort
void quicksort(int list[],int m,int n)
{
int key,i,j,k;
if( m < n) { k = get_key_position(m,n); swap(&list[m],&list[k]); key = list[m]; i = m+1; j = n; while(i <= j) { while((i <= n) && (list[i] <= key)) i++; while((j >= m) && (list[j] > key))
j–;
if( i < j)
swap(&list[i],&list[j]);
}
swap(&list[m],&list[j]);
quicksort(list,m,j-1);
quicksort(list,j+1,n);
}
}

// Function to read the data
void read_data(int list[],int n)
{
int j;
printf(“\n\nEnter the elements:\n”);
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
scanf(“%d”,&list[j]);
}

// Function to print the data
void print_data(int list[],int n)
{
int j;
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
printf(“%d\t”,list[j]);
}

int main()
{
int list[MAX], num;
//clrscr();
printf(“\n Enter the number of elements Maximum [10] \n”);
scanf(“%d”,&num);
read_data(list,num);
printf(“\n\nElements in the list before sorting are:\n”);
print_data(list,num);
quicksort(list,0,num-1);
printf(“\n\nElements in the list after sorting are:\n”);
print_data(list,num);
return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

Enter the number of elements Maximum [10]
6

Enter the elements:
56
26
16
66
06
36

Elements in the list before sorting are:
56 26 16 66 6 36

Elements in the list after sorting are:
6 16 26 36 56 66
