Full tutorial for the Quicksort algorithm in Java, with source!
Quicksort is widely considered the best sorting algorithm out there, but it can be very complicated to learn.
We'll walk through the entire quick sort sorting algorithm step by step, then walk through coding the entire thing in Java.
Quicksort doesn't have to be so tough to learn!
Learn quicksort by watching the whole algorithm being described and coded.
Learn or improve your Java by watching it being coded live!
Hi, I'm John! I'm a Lead Java Software Engineer and I've been in the programming industry for more than a decade. I love sharing what I've learned over the years in a way that's understandable for all levels of Java learners.

A few viewers have pointed out an issue where a value would be out of order in some situations. A couple of commenters, Wilson Barbosa and Yebo Qin, identified what the issue was and implemented fixes and noted them in comments below. I've included Wilson's fix in the linked code, so now it should all be working properly. Let me know if anyone notices anything else though. Thanks so much to everyone who saw this and proposed fixes! This community is clearly awesome. Also, this is why code reviews are a great idea!

@quitchiboo 2 года назад

Honestly the best tutorial on quicksort out there! I'd like to add: You don't have to use a number from the array as a pivot. You can calculate the median of the array and use that as the pivot, to queeze out even a little more performance.

@TuanBuianonymous 2 года назад

how to calculate the median of the array?

@quitchiboo 2 года назад

@@TuanBuianonymous Count how many numbers you have. If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number. If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.

@thanhtungtran8249 Год назад

@@quitchiboo in an unsorted array, the median could be any number, such as the highest or lowest number, so it does not make the algorithm that much better

thank you so much John! I was getting really frustrated with myself because I've watched 3 quicksort tutorials, and the last video the comments were like "if you dont get it, you dont get it." felt really defeated but now I think I understand!! im currently a software engineer in test but I'd like to prepare for my future possibly as a swe. one of the videos I watched was choosing a pivot randomly in the array which had me like 🥴but this makes a lot more sense to me! kind of reminds me of binary search.

@ishank7239 Год назад

When I watched this video for the first time, I was a bit hesitant to implement it this way. It was because of the nested "while" loops. It took some careful observation to understand that although there are inner while loops, we only go through the array once : O(n) Thanks for this clear explanation. 🙏🏽

@yaweno9555 Год назад

Very well done video on quicksort with Java. I'm impressed with John as an instructor from this first video of his I watched. John explains things in a way that is easy to digest and comprehend. I came upon this one after a demo of quicksort in a Learn Haskell video. This review helped me better understand some of that foreign syntax in Haskell. I do have to say that Haskell does the quicksort in far fewer lines than Java.

I was having difficulty to understand the logic behind the implementation and your explanation it’s really great. There is just one thing that I do not fully understand that is why choose a random pivot it’s better than always take the last or first element.

Damn John. Im loving your videos man. You really clarify stuff which other tutors just ignore, that creates a lot of trouble. I actually would ask you if you could clarify the concept of returning. Plays a crucial role in coding and I miss the point of returning ometimes: "Does return close a program?" What is the point of returning is the return is void? " "Why do we have to return?" Thank for the great videos!

As usual, easy way to understand. I just got out of the class and our professor said it better to use the median for choosing the pivot. while choosing the pivot would it better time complexity if we do (left+right /2).

@marq_8976 2 года назад

@johnnyf1624 2 года назад

Thank you great explanation as always. we can add a condition before swap of left and right in case they are the same to prevent additional operation if (left != right) swap (numbers, left, right). also 21:34, line 30 n 31 the swap should happen before the assignment of pivot variable. rn your pivot variable is alrdy assign to random pivotIndex, the swapping doesn't do any good.
