“I call it my billion-dollar mistake. It was the invention of the null reference in 1965.” — Tony Hoare
Case | Time complexity | Space complexity |
---|---|---|
Best | \(\color{black} \fcolorbox{darkorange}{sandybrown} {Ω(n . log(n))}\) | |
Average | \(\color{black} \fcolorbox{darkorange}{sandybrown} {Θ(n . log(n))}\) | |
Worst | \(\color{white} \fcolorbox{crimson}{firebrick} {O(n^2)}\) | \(\color{black} \fcolorbox{yellowgreen}{greenyellow} {O(log(n))}\) |
Expands on merge sort with a pivot to reduce the number of comparisons.
