Stress slows the process, and when the brain cannot find an acceptable response to a situation, it fixates on a single and sometimes default solution that may or ...

  9. Quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort

    Recursively sort the "equal to" partition by the next character (key). Given we sort using bytes or words of length W bits, the best case is O(KN) and the worst case O(2 K N) or at least O(N 2) as for standard quicksort, given for unique keys N<2 K, and K is a hidden constant in all standard comparison sort algorithms including
