Quick Sort

Problem

Return a sorted copy using quicksort partitioning.

Examples

Example 1

Input: [10,7,8,9,1,5]

Output: [1,5,7,8,9,10]

Example 2

Input: [3,1,3,2]

Output: [1,2,3,3]

Input and output use JSON-compatible values. For linked-list and tree questions, arrays represent the node structure as described above. Your code should implement solve(input).

How to solve Quick Sort

Return a sorted copy using quicksort partitioning. Partition values around a pivot and recursively sort each side. The reference implementation illustrates this approach; check the example and edge cases.

Time and space complexity

O(n log n) average time; O(n²) worst-case time.
