quickSort
Sorts an array of numbers, using the quicksort algorithm.
- Use recursion.
- Use the spread operator (
...
) to clone the original array,arr
. - If the
length
of the array is less than2
, return the cloned array. - Use
Math.floor()
to calculate the index of the pivot element. - Use
Array.prototype.reduce()
andArray.prototype.push()
to split the array into two subarrays (elements smaller or equal to thepivot
and elements greater than it), destructuring the result into two arrays. - Recursively call
quickSort()
on the created subarrays.
const quickSort = arr => {
const a = [...arr];
if (a.length < 2) return a;
const pivotIndex = Math.floor(arr.length / 2);
const pivot = a[pivotIndex];
const [lo, hi] = a.reduce(
(acc, val, i) => {
if (val < pivot || (val === pivot && i != pivotIndex)) {
acc[0].push(val);
} else if (val > pivot) {
acc[1].push(val);
}
return acc;
},
[[], []]
);
return [...quickSort(lo), pivot, ...quickSort(hi)];
};
