QuickSort in js code example

Example 1: javascript quicksort

const quicksort = arr =>
  arr.length <= 1
    ? arr
    : [
        ...quicksort(arr.slice(1).filter((el) => el < arr[0])),
        arr[0],
        ...quicksort(arr.slice(1).filter((el) => el >= arr[0])),
      ];

Example 2: quick sort in javascript

function quicksort(array) {
  if (array.length <= 1) {
    return array;
  }

  var pivot = array[0];
  
  var left = []; 
  var right = [];

  for (var i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
    array[i] < pivot ? left.push(array[i]) : right.push(array[i]);
  }

  return quicksort(left).concat(pivot, quicksort(right));
};

Example 3: quicksort javascript

var items = [5,3,7,6,2,9];
function swap(items, leftIndex, rightIndex){
    var temp = items[leftIndex];
    items[leftIndex] = items[rightIndex];
    items[rightIndex] = temp;
}
function partition(items, left, right) {
    var pivot   = items[Math.floor((right + left) / 2)], //middle element
        i       = left, //left pointer
        j       = right; //right pointer
    while (i <= j) {
        while (items[i] < pivot) {
            i++;
        }
        while (items[j] > pivot) {
            j--;
        }
        if (i <= j) {
            swap(items, i, j); //sawpping two elements
            i++;
            j--;
        }
    }
    return i;
}

function quickSort(items, left, right) {
    var index;
    if (items.length > 1) {
        index = partition(items, left, right); //index returned from partition
        if (left < index - 1) { //more elements on the left side of the pivot
            quickSort(items, left, index - 1);
        }
        if (index < right) { //more elements on the right side of the pivot
            quickSort(items, index, right);
        }
    }
    return items;
}
// first call to quick sort
var sortedArray = quickSort(items, 0, items.length - 1);
console.log(sortedArray); //prints [2,3,5,6,7,9]
