Consequently, quicksort needs O(log2 n) additional space. Although this non-constant space technically takes quicksort out of the in-place category, quicksort and...

partial_quicksort(A, i, j, k) is if i < j then p ← pivot(A, i, j) p ← partition(A, i, j, p) partial_quicksort(A, i, p-1, k) if p < k-1 then partial_quicksort(A...
