quicksort Questions

So I was going through different sorting algorithms. But almost all the sorting algorithms require 2 loops to sort the array. The time complexity of Bubble sort & Insertion sort is O(n) for Bes...

I have already solved the problem using mergesort, now I am thinking is that possible to calculate the number using quicksort? I also coded the quicksort, but I don't know how to calculate. Here is...

When implementing Quicksort, one of the things you have to do is to choose a pivot. But when I look at pseudocode like the one below, it is not clear how I should choose the pivot. First element of...

My understanding of quick sort is
Choose a pivot element (in this case I am choosing middle element as
pivot)
Initialize left and right pointers at extremes.
Find the first element to the left of...

I learnt about quicksort and how it can be implemented in both Recursive and Iterative method.
In Iterative method:
Push the range (0...n) into the stack
Partition the given array with a pivot

Why is mergesort considered "the way to go" when sorting lists and not quicksort?
I heard this in a lecture that I watched online, and saw it in a couple of websites.

I'm taking a look at Go, and was trying to find idiomatic implementations of classic algorithms to get a feel for the language.
I chose quicksort because I'm particularly interested in the arrays ...

How is it different if I select a randomized pivot versus just selecting the first pivot in an unordered set/list?
If the set is unordered, isnt selecting the first value in the set, random in its...

In Introduction to Algorithms p169 it talks about using tail recursion for Quicksort.
The original Quicksort algorithm earlier in the chapter is (in pseudo-code)
Quicksort(A, p, r)

Why is it that I mostly hear about Quicksort being the fastest overall sorting algorithm when, according to Wikipedia, Timsort seems to perform much better?

I am currently studying quicksort and would like to know how it works when the first (or last) element is chosen as the pivot point.
Say for example I have the following array:

I have implemented the classic Hoare's partitioning algorithm for Quicksort. It works with any list of unique numbers [3, 5, 231, 43]. The only problem is when I have a list with duplicates [1, 57,...

I have read that quicksort is much faster than mergesort in practice, and the reason for this is the hidden constant.
Well, the solution for the randomized quick sort complexity is 2nlnn=1.39nlogn ...
