Question 1

What is the average case time complexity of Quicksort?

  • O(n)
  • O(n log n)
  • O(n²)

💡 Hint: Affected by how evenly the array gets divided.

Question 2

True or False: The worst-case scenario of Quicksort occurs when the pivot is always the median.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens with sorted arrays.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the array [7, 2, 1, 6, 8, 5, 3, 4], manually apply the Quicksort algorithm by choosing the first element as the pivot through two partitions.

💡 Hint: Focus on where each element should go relative to the pivot.

Question 2

Design a randomized Quicksort and explain how your pivot selection helps mitigate worst-case scenarios while considering a worst-case input.

💡 Hint: Think about how random choices can alter expected performance.
