QuickSort
In-place quicksort implementation. It is not stable, but does not allocate extra space (other than stack). Like MergeSort, it uses InsertionSort for sorting very small arrays.
Value members
Concrete methods
Helper method for the quick sort implementation. Partitions the segment of the array data from start to end
according to the value at the given pivotIndex. Values in the segment less than the pivot value will end up to
the left of the pivot value, and values greater on the right. Operates in place.

- Type Params
- A
a member of the type class Order
- Value Params
- data
the array to be partitioned
- end
the right endpoint (exclusive) of the interval to be partitioned
- pivotIndex
the index of the current pivot
- start
the left endpoint (inclusive) of the interval to be partitioned
- Returns
the next pivot value
Uses quicksort on data to sort the entries from the index start up to, but not including, the index end.
Operates in place.
Uses quicksort on data to sort the entries from the index start up to, but not including, the index end.
Operates in place.
If the size of the segment to be sorted is less than the threshold limit uses insertion sort instead.
