This is the java solution for the Hackerrank problem – Quicksort In-Place – Hackerrank Challenge – Java Solution.

//Problem: https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/quicksort3
//Java 8
/*
Initial Thoughts:
Basic in-place quicksort where you print after each partition iteration
Time Complexity: O(n^2) //We are not randomizing our pivot selection so worst case is n^2
Space Complexity: O(log n) //We recursively build log n frames on the stack
