Why is quicksort so fast?



Why is quicksort so fast?..

Answer / Rubi Chahal

Quicksort is a fast sorting algorithm due to its average O(n log n) time complexity. It achieves this by selecting a 'pivot' element and partitioning the array into two smaller subarrays, recursively sorting each subarray until the base case (a single element or empty array) is reached.
