Sample Code - Quick Sort


Quick sort in python

# Python program for implementation of Quicksort Sort 
  
# This function takes last element as pivot, places 
# the pivot element at its correct position in sorted 
# array, and places all smaller (smaller than pivot) 
# to left of pivot and all greater elements to right 
# of pivot 
def partition(arr,low,high): 
    i = ( low-1 )         # index of smaller element 
    pivot = arr[high]     # pivot 
  
    for j in range(low , high): 
  
        # If current element is smaller than or 
        # equal to pivot 
        if   arr[j] <= pivot: 
          
            # increment index of smaller element 
            i = i+1 
            arr[i],arr[j] = arr[j],arr[i] 
  
    arr[i+1],arr[high] = arr[high],arr[i+1] 
    return ( i+1 ) 
  
# The main function that implements QuickSort 
# arr[] --> Array to be sorted, 
# low  --> Starting index, 
# high  --> Ending index 
  
# Function to do Quick sort 
def quickSort(arr,low,high): 
    if low < high: 
  
        # pi is partitioning index, arr[p] is now 
        # at right place 
        pi = partition(arr,low,high) 
  
        # Separately sort elements before 
        # partition and after partition 
        quickSort(arr, low, pi-1) 
        quickSort(arr, pi+1, high) 
  
# Driver code to test above 
arr = [10, 7, 8, 9, 1, 5] 
n = len(arr) 
quickSort(arr,0,n-1) 
print ("Sorted array is:") 
for i in range(n): 
    print ("%d" %arr[i]),

Quick sort in haskell

quicksort :: ( Ord a ) = > [ a ] -> [ a ]
quicksort [] = []
quicksort ( x : xs ) =
    let smallerSorted = quicksort [ a | a <- xs , a <= x ]
        biggerSorted = quicksort [ a | a <- xs , a > x ]
    in smallerSorted ++ [ x ] ++ biggerSorted

Quick sort in scheme

(define (quicksort lst)
  (cond
    ((or (null? lst) ; empty list is sorted
         (null? (cdr lst))) ; single-element list is sorted
     lst)
    (else
      (let ((pivot (car lst)) ; Select the first element as the pivot
            (rest (cdr lst)))
        (append
          (quicksort ; Recursively sort the list of smaller values
            (filter (lambda (x) (< x pivot)) rest)) ; Select the smaller values
          (list pivot) ; Add the pivot in the middle
          (quicksort ; Recursively sort the list of larger values
            (filter (lambda (x) (>= x pivot)) rest))))))) ; Select the larger and equal values
