Question

Can someone solve the following problem in the 1st screenshot? For extra help, the rules and hints are provided in the 2nd screenshot with different numbers but same idea (PLEASE HELP)!!!

 

 

 

Expected:
pivot: 93
low: 66, 86, 81, 58
high: 93
numbers: (28, 21, 40, 10, 42, 66, 86, 81, 58, 93)
The midpoint is 5+ (9-5)/2 = 5 + 2 = 7, so the pivot is numbers[7], which is 93.
Since 93 is equal to the pivot and 81 is less than the pivot, the partitioning algorithm swaps 93 and
81 to place 81 in the low partition and 93 in the high partition.
numbers is now: (28, 21, 40, 10, 42, 66, 86, 81, 58, 93)
The low partition has elements from index 5 to index 8: (66, 86, 81, 58).
The high partition has elements from index 9 to index 9: (93).
After Partition(numbers, 5, 9) completes, numbers is (28, 21, 40, 10, 42, 66, 86, 81, 58, 93).
