Sorts an array of numbers, using the quicksort algorithm.
|
|
|
|
- Use recursion.
|
|
- Use the spread operator (`...`) to clone the original array, `arr`.
|
|
- If the `length` of the array is less than `2`, return the cloned array.
|
|
- Use `Math.floor()` to calculate the index of the pivot element.
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` and `Array.prototype.push()` to split the array into two subarrays (elements smaller or equal to the `pivot` and elements greater than it), destructuring the result into two arrays.
|
|
- Recursively call `quickSort()` on the created subarrays.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const quickSort = arr => {
|
|
const a = [...arr];
|
|
if (a.length < 2) return a;
|
|
const pivotIndex = Math.floor(arr.length / 2);
|
|
const pivot = a[pivotIndex];
|
|
const [lo, hi] = a.reduce(
|
|
(acc, val, i) => {
|
|
if (val < pivot || (val === pivot && i != pivotIndex)) {
|
|
acc[0].push(val);
|
|
} else if (val > pivot) {
|
|
acc[1].push(val);
|
|
}
|
|
return acc;
|
|
},
|
|
[[], []]
|
|
);
|
|
return [...quickSort(lo), pivot, ...quickSort(hi)];
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
quickSort([1, 6, 1, 5, 3, 2, 1, 4]); // [1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
|
|
```
