•Worst-Case: If the partition process always takes the smallest or largest element as the pivot, the worst case of a quick-sort algorithm is considered. For example, in the above-mentioned quick sorting program in C, the worst case occurs if the last element is selected as the pivot po...

This result of this recurrence relation givesT(n) = nLogn.The average-case occurs when we get random unevenly balanced partitions. The time complexity is of the order of [Big Theta]:O(nLogn). Worst Case T(n)=T(n-1)+ θ(n)
No, the best-case running time of QuickSort is not always Ω(n log n). It is only guaranteed to have this time complexity in the best-case scenario where the pivot element is always the median of the array. In other cases, the time complexity can be worse, such as in the worst-ca...
Alternatively, we can create a recurrence relation for computing it. In the worst case, after the first partition, one array will have element and the other one will have elements. Let’s say denotes the time complexity to sort elements in the worst case: Again for the base case when and...
