3054	 Implementing Quicksort Programs	 This paper is a practical study of how to implement the Quicksort sorting algorithm and its best variants on real computers including how to apply various code optimization techniques. A detailed implementation combining the most effective improvements to Quicksort is given along with a discussion of how to implement it in assembly language. Analytic results describing the performance of the programs are summarized. A variety of special situations are considered from a practical standpoint to illustrate Quicksort s wide applicability as an internal sorting method which requires negligible extra storage.
