What is the minimum number of comparisons? Thx! -- Andrei
There is no partition algorithm that uses <= 5 comparisons in all cases.
(If that is what you're asking.)
Was asking about this particular one. For example, the maximum
comparisons is 6, but it would be good to know the average number of
comparisons. I know I could read through the code, but it's hairy.
Thanks! -- Andrei
