Suppose we wish to sort the following values: 84, 22, 19, 11, 60, 68, 31, 29, 58, 23, 45, 93, 48, 31, 7. Assume that: we have three pages of memory for sorting; we will use an external sorting algorithm with a 2-way merge; a page only holds two values. We do not use double buffering and we use quick sort in pass 0 to produce the initial runs. For each sorting pass, show the contents of all temporary files except that you should fully utilize the buffers by sorting every 3 pages into a run in pass 0. Could you show step by step detailed explaination for this?

But the question states that in the first pass quick sort algorithm is to be used. Could you explain that step?? How do we create array blocks? is there a formula??
