Question

Implement the following algorithms in Java: 

A) A variant of QUICKSORT which returns without sorting subarrays with fewer than k elements and then uses INSERTION-SORT to sort the entire nearly-sorted array (slide 24).
B) A variant of QUICKSORT using the median-of-three partitioning scheme.


Slide 24:
Cutoff to INSERTION-SORT (as in MERGE-SORT). Alternatively:

−When calling QUICKSORT on a subarray with fewer than k elements, return without sorting the subarray

−After the top-level call to QUICKSORT returns, run INSERTION-SORT on the entire array to finish the sorting process

−Taking advantage of the fast running time of INSERTION-SORT when its input is “nearly” sorted

Tail call optimisation convert the code so that it makes only one recursive call

−Usually good compilers do that for us

 Iterative version with the help of an auxiliary stack
