  Quick sort algorithm in C programming What is Quick Sort?   Before reading through this article, check out the video below for better understanding of the Quick sort  algorithm. Quick sort Quick-sort with Hungarian folk dance   Quick sort algorithm is a comparison-based algorithm that follows the divide-and-conquer approach to  sort data. It starts by  selecting a 'pivot' element from the array and partitioning the other elements into  two sub-arrays according to whether they are less than or greater than the pivot. The sub-arrays are then  sorted recursively. Lomuto Partition Scheme:   The Lomuto partition scheme is one of the methods used to partition the array in Quick sort. It selects the  last element of the array as the pivot and rearranges the array so that all elements less than the pivot are  placed before it, and all elements greater than the pivot are placed after it. This partitioning process is  performed in line...
