Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an array of integers that are sorted in decreasing order, analyze the performance of Quicksort based on different pivot choices. Discuss the implications.

💡 Hint: Focus on how poor pivot choice impacts eventual partitioning.

Question 2

Design and implement a randomized Quicksort algorithm in pseudocode. Explain how it mitigates worst-case time complexity.

💡 Hint: Consider how randomness influences partitioning hence affects runtime.
