Quicksort: Partitioning an array

This video shows how partitioning may be achieved, as part of the process of Quicksort. At the end of the partitioning process, the array is divided into two sub-arrays. One sub-array contains elements that are less than a chosen pivot, while the other contains elements that are more than the pivot. The partition function should return the position of the pivot. Note: While recording the video, I was focusing on moving the pivot to the (i+1)th position towards the end of the video, and in my hurry to finish the video, I had forgotten that a swap is sufficient. Agree (and this has been brought up many times in the past) that a swap at the last step is quicker and more efficient. However, it is not incorrect to shift - just inefficient. Actually, as mentioned right at the beginning, the objective here is to find the position of the pivot for the partition.
