This is great video! but, I feel the algo provided in the end is not the same as the way he was explaining.. I went ahead and wrote my code for it same way he explained: ``` class Solution: def sortArray(self, nums: List[int]) -> List[int]: def quicksort(nums, lo, hi): if lo < hi: partition_resting_point = partition(nums, lo, hi) quicksort(nums, lo, partition_resting_point - 1) quicksort(nums, partition_resting_point + 1, hi) def partition(nums, lo, hi): pivotIdx = random.randint(lo, hi) nums[pivotIdx], nums[hi] = nums[hi], nums[pivotIdx] pivot = nums[hi] l_idx = lo r_idx = hi-1 while l_idx

Yeah, in the early days I didn't spend enough time on pseudocode. Trying to fix that now by building out this repo: github.com/msambol/youtube/blob/master/sort/quick_sort.py. Thanks for the feedback!

[@airex12]

After you swap itemFromLeft and the pivot at the end, itemFromLeft is now at the end of the array. So, use that as the *new* pivot. Repeat that until its sorted.

[@kennethquilantang8080]

@@airex12 so 8 is the new pivot? How can I go through if there is no number in the array greater than 8?

[@airex12]

@@kennethquilantang8080 after 7 is put in its correct position, remember that all numbers to the right of 7 are greater than 7. In this case, there is only one number - 8. A partition with just one number is already sorted, so you can ignore it and move on to sort [6,5] to the left of 7. For sorting [6,5] choose 5 as the pivot. itemFromLeft is therefore 6, and itemFromRight has no value because no number in the array smaller than 5. Therefore, we can stop and swap itemFromLeft and the pivot to leave [5,6]. Yes, the video is unclear because it does not explain these cases. The point is that each time you put the pivot into it's correct position, you have "split" the array into two parts - one part has all numbers bigger than the pivot and the other part has all numbers smaller than the pivot. Parts with *just one* element are already sorted. If a part is already sorted, no itemFromLeft can be found. If a part is unsorted, you are guaranteed to find an itemFromLeft, and if the index of itemFromRight < the index of itemFromLeft *OR* itemFromRight does not exist then you can swap itemFromLeft and the pivot to put the pivot into its correct position in the whole array.

[@emilgebl8644]

If anyone is confused at the 1:10, basically he doesn't go through the loop. Instead he jumps to when item from left is higher or item from right is smaller etc. There is a left and right pointer that checks for the condition and then left++ or right-- if its not correct. itemsfromRight goes from 1 cuz its smaller, and then the right-- checks 7, not smaller, right--, checks 8 not smaller, right-- and then it checks the 0 and see that its smaller.

[@ragavendhart]

I guess, In the quicksort explanation he moves the pivot to the RIGHT END of the array. In the pseudocode, he moves the pivot to the LEFT end of the array. And after the swapping is done, he then brings the pivot to the original position from the LEFTEND. I've seen too many quicksort algorithm videos and this works the best for all my cases.

[@lemonw3906]

The pseudocode is hard to read, but the variable name "leftwall" is really good, this gives me a vivid concept of how the leftmost larger item was swapped and the "wall" moved.

[@smbowner]

Hey, Thanks for the explanasion, It was a clear and concise video, however the pseudocode is somewhat wrong I believe in 3 things: In Partition, the order of operations is not correct: increment leftwall first, then swap. The final swap in Partition is not correctly swapping the pivot's original position with A[leftwall]. The recursive calls in Quicksort should be updated to exclude the pivot_location from the ranges, properly dividing the array into segments that exclude the sorted pivot. here is the corrected version: Quicksort(A as array, low as int, high as int) if (low < high) pivot_location = Partition(A, low, high) Quicksort(A, low, pivot_location - 1) Quicksort(A, pivot_location + 1, high) Partition(A as array, low as int, high as int) pivot = A[low] leftwall = low for i = low + 1 to high if (A[i] < pivot) then leftwall = leftwall + 1 swap(A[i], A[leftwall]) swap(A[low], A[leftwall]) return(leftwall) Thanks again!

[@jugsma6676]

Take a pivot as the biggest number, the code will recurse an infinite number of times. And you can't simply swap A[i] and A[leftwall] in for loop based on A[i] < pivot. We also need to consider if A[high] < pivot before swapping.

[@winterfoxx6363]

but how could A[high] be less than pivot if the high is supposed to be a value greater than pivot? and why not always pick a pivot from the middle?

According to the pseudo code, the video should pick 2 as pivot and compare the rest number with 2 and when encounter 1 then swap 1 with 2, and then swap 0 with 6 and swap then lefwall=3 so swap 5 with the pivot 2. That finishes the first partition.

[@Jack-dx7qb]

Why the pseudocode doesn't intuitively reflect the walk through? (Quote from Wikipedia) "The pivot selection and partitioning steps can be done in several different ways; the choice of specific implementation schemes greatly affects the algorithm's performance." There are two partition schemes: 1. Lomuto partition scheme, which is the pseudocode provided in the video. 2. Hoare partition scheme, which is the walkthrough in the video. Comparison (Quote from Wikipedia) 1. "As the Lomuto partition scheme is more compact and easy to understand, it is frequently used in introductory material, although it is less efficient than Hoare's original scheme." 2. "Hoare's scheme is more efficient than Lomuto's partition scheme because it does three times fewer swaps on average, and it creates efficient partitions even when all values are equal." To understand the Lomuto partition scheme more, I recommend a KZbin video called "Quicksort: Partitioning an array" by KC Ang.
