This is a part of a full algorithm series - Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_xesqdQqvA&list=PLc_Ps3DdrcTsizjAG5uMhpoDfhDmxpOzv #Python #QuickSort #Algorithm In this one we're covering the quick sort algorithm! One of the favorite sorting algorithms due to its speed in an average case. The Quick Sort algorithm takes an item from the unsorted list and uses it as the 'pivot' or the item to compare the remainder of the items in the list. We do comparisons placing the items in lists according to if they are larger or smaller than the pivot value. We repeat this process creating smaller and smaller lists until we have list values of one which have been sorted. Join The Socials -- Picking Shoutouts Across YouTube, Insta, FB, and Twitter!
