What is the recursive depth of quicksort, in the best, worst, and average cases? This is the size of the stack that the system needs to keep track of the recursive calls. See exercise for a way to guarantee that the recursive depth is logarithmic in the worst case.

Exercise

Nonrecursive quicksort. Implement a nonrecursive version of quicksort based on a main loop where a subarray is popped from a stack to be partitioned, and the resulting subarrays are pushed onto the stack. Note : Push the larger of the subarrays onto the stack first, which guarantees that the stack will have at most lg N entries.
