public abstract class IntroSorter
extends Sorter

Sorter implementation based on a variant of the quicksort algorithm called introsort: when the recursion level exceeds the log of the length of the array to sort, it falls back to heapsort. This prevents quicksort from running into its worst-case quadratic runtime. Small arrays are sorted with insertion sort.
