# Python program for implementation of Quicksort Sort

# This implementation utilizes pivot as the last element in the nums list
# It has a pointer to keep track of the elements smaller than the pivot
# At the very end of partition() function, the pointer is swapped with the pivot
# to come up with a "sorted" nums relative to the pivot


# Function to find the partition position
def partition(array, low, high):

# choose the rightmost element as pivot
pivot = array[high]

# pointer for greater element
i = low - 1

# traverse through all elements
# compare each element with pivot
for j in range(low, high):
if array[j] <= pivot:

# If element smaller than pivot is found
# swap it with the greater element pointed by i
i = i + 1

# Swapping element at i with element at j
(array[i], array[j]) = (array[j], array[i])

# Swap the pivot element with the greater element specified by i
(array[i + 1], array[high]) = (array[high], array[i + 1])

# Return the position from where partition is done
return i + 1

# function to perform quicksort


def quickSort(array, low, high):
if low < high:

# Find pivot element such that
# element smaller than pivot are on the left
# element greater than pivot are on the right
pi = partition(array, low, high)

# Recursive call on the left of pivot
quickSort(array, low, pi - 1)

# Recursive call on the right of pivot
quickSort(array, pi + 1, high)
