Question

Please help me with this algorithm question.

suppose we modified the QuickSort algorithm such that we run InsertionSort on the first 10% of A in the Partition
method. You may assume the selection of the pivot will be the last element in the range
[p, r]. What would be the best and worst case running time of this new algorithm? Explain
your reasoning.

 

// quickSort() method for integer array
    public void quickSort(int[] A, int p, int r) {
        if(p < r) {
            int q = partition(A, p, r);
            quickSort(A, p, q - 1);
            quickSort(A, q + 1, r);
        }
    }
    
    // partition() method for integer array
    public int partition(int[] A, int p, int r) {
        int x = A[selectPivot(A, p, r)];
        int i = p - 1;
        
        for(int j = p; j < r; j++) {
            if(order) {
                if(A[j] > x) {
                    i = i + 1;
                    exchange(A, i, j);
                }
            } else {
                if(A[j] <= x) {
                    i = i + 1;
                    exchange(A, i, j);
                }
            }
        }
        exchange(A, (i + 1), r);
        return (i + 1);
    }
    
    // exchange() method for integer array
    public void exchange(int[] A, int i, int j) {
        int temp = A[i];
        A[i] = A[j];
        A[j] = temp;
    }
