Quicksort in Swift
Below is an example of the Quicksort algorithm in Swift. See the Quicksort page for more information and implementations.

func quickSort(array: inout [Int], startIndex: Int, endIndex: Int)
{
// verify that the start and end index have not overlapped
if (startIndex < endIndex)
{
// calculate the pivotIndex
pivotIndex: Int = partition(array, startIndex, endIndex);
// sort the left sub-array
quickSort(array, startIndex, pivotIndex);
// sort the right sub-array
quickSort(array, pivotIndex + 1, endIndex);
}
}
func partition(array: inout [Int], startIndex: Int, endIndex: Int) -> Integer
{
pivotIndex: Int = (startIndex + endIndex) / 2;
pivotValue: Int = array[pivotIndex];
startIndex-=1;
endIndex+=1;
while (true)
{
// start at the FIRST index of the sub-array and increment
// FORWARD until we find a value that is > pivotValue
do startIndex+=1; while (array[startIndex] < pivotValue);
// start at the LAST index of the sub-array and increment
// BACKWARD until we find a value that is < pivotValue
do endIndex-=1; while (array[endIndex] > pivotValue);

// swap values at the startIndex and endIndex

var array = [12, 11, 15, 10, 9, 1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
insertionSort(array: &array)
print(array)
