Program: Implement quick sort in java.
Quicksort or partition-exchange sort, is a fast sorting algorithm, which is using divide and conquer algorithm. Quicksort first divides a large list
into two smaller sub-lists: the low elements and the high elements. Quicksort can then recursively sort the sub-lists.
Steps to implement Quick sort:
1) Choose an element, called pivot, from the list. Generally pivot can be the middle index element.
2) Reorder the list so that all elements with values less than the pivot come before the pivot, while all elements with values
greater than the pivot come after it (equal values can go either way). After this partitioning, the pivot is in its final position.
This is called the partition operation.
3) Recursively apply the above steps to the sub-list of elements with smaller values and separately the sub-list of elements with greater values.
The complexity of quick sort in the average case is Θ(n log(n)) and in the worst case is Θ(n2).
package com.java2novice.sorting;
public class MyQuickSort {
private int array[];
private int length;
public void sort(int[] inputArr) {
if (inputArr == null || inputArr.length == 0) {
return;
}
this.array = inputArr;
length = inputArr.length;
quickSort(0, length - 1);
}
private void quickSort(int lowerIndex, int higherIndex) {
int i = lowerIndex;
int j = higherIndex;
// calculate pivot number, I am taking pivot as middle index number
int pivot = array[lowerIndex+(higherIndex-lowerIndex)/2];
// Divide into two arrays
while (i <= j) {
/**
* In each iteration, we will identify a number from left side which
* is greater then the pivot value, and also we will identify a number
* from right side which is less then the pivot value. Once the search
* is done, then we exchange both numbers.
*/
while (array[i] < pivot) {
i++;
}
while (array[j] > pivot) {
j--;
}
if (i <= j) {
exchangeNumbers(i, j);
//move index to next position on both sides
i++;
j--;
}
}
// call quickSort() method recursively
if (lowerIndex < j)
quickSort(lowerIndex, j);
if (i < higherIndex)
quickSort(i, higherIndex);
}
private void exchangeNumbers(int i, int j) {
int temp = array[i];
array[i] = array[j];
array[j] = temp;
}
public static void main(String a[]){
MyQuickSort sorter = new MyQuickSort();
int[] input = {24,2,45,20,56,75,2,56,99,53,12};
sorter.sort(input);
for(int i:input){
System.out.print(i);
System.out.print(" ");
}
}
}

What is wrapper class?
Everything in java is an object, except primitives. Primitives are
int, short, long, boolean, etc. Since they are not objects, they cannot
return as objects, and collection of objects. To support this, java provides
wrapper classes to move primitives to objects. Some of the wrapper classes
are Integer, Long, Boolean, etc.
The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.
