In q2 of quiz, please explain 2nd and 3rd points.

Please paste the question here, as I don’t have access to quiz .

Which of the following changes to typical QuickSort improves its performance on average and are generally done in practice?

  1. Randomly picking up to make worst case less likely to occur.
  2. Calling insertion sort for small sized arrays to reduce recursive calls.
  3. QuickSort is tail recursive, so tail call optimizations can be done.
  4. A linear time median searching algorithm is used to pick the median, so that the worst case time reduces to O(n Log n)

in 4th option we can use in theory but not in practice bcoz choose median as pivot in large array has many overhead … these links may clear your doubt
