Implementing a Sorting Algorithm for Efficiently Sorting a Large Array of Integers

Sorting a large array of integers requires a well-structured and efficient sorting algorithm. One commonly used algorithm is the Quick Sort Algorithm.

To implement the Quick Sort Algorithm, follow these steps:

  1. Choose a pivot element from the array (commonly the last element).
  2. Partition the array into two subarrays: elements less than the pivot and elements greater than the pivot.
  3. Recursively apply the Quick Sort Algorithm to the subarrays.
  4. Concatenate the sorted subarrays with the pivot in the middle to obtain the sorted array.

The time complexity of Quick Sort Algorithm is O(n log n) on average and O(n^2) in the worst case scenario. However, for large arrays, the average case scenario is usually encountered, making it an efficient sorting algorithm for large datasets.

By following these steps and implementing the Quick Sort Algorithm, you can efficiently sort a large array of integers with optimal time complexity.
