We learn all about our second "divide and conquer" algorithm, quick sort! We walk through how it works with help from a queendom, a few pointers, and a very helpful pivot number. Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Pivoting To Understand Quicksort [Part 1]".
If you like the show and want to support our work, become a patron here. You'll get stickers, postcards, and even socks. Let's make computer science more accessible and fun!
