Here's the simplest way to adapt your code so that it won't blow the stack. Just shuffle the input list first:
(defn quicksort [l] (letfn [(qsort [[pivot & xs]] (when pivot (let [smaller #(< % pivot)] (lazy-cat (qsort (filter smaller xs)) [pivot] (qsort (remove smaller xs))))))] (qsort (shuffle l)))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
