If you have a lot of duplicate elements, then your quicksort will try to place the each of the duplicate element separately at its correct position. But that's the naive approach. How you can improve the approach so that quicksort will take pivot only a lesser number of times? 1. Write a pseudo code of your new approach? 2. What would be the time complexity of your algorithm?

Merge sort

Merge Sort recursively sorts a given collection of numbers or elements by using the divide and conquer strategy in less time. It is one of the most used algorithms, with the worst-case time complexity of O (n log n). It was invented by John Von Neumann. The algorithm continuously divides an array into sub-arrays until each sub-array consists of a single element. It then merges those sub-arrays to produce a sorted array.
