Question

let list = {20, 21, 34, 7, 12, 23, 12, 35, 18, 16, 15, 19, 17}

If we were to call partition(list, 0, 12), what value will be returned?

public static int partition(int[] list, int first, int last) {
        int pivot = list[first];
        int low = first + 1;
        int high = last;
        
        while(high > low) {
            while(low <= high && list[low] <= pivot)
                low++;
            while(low <= high && list[high] > pivot)
                high--;
            if(high > low) {
                int temp = list[high];
                list[high] = list[low];
                list[low] = temp;
            }
        }
        
        while(high > first && list[high] >= pivot) 
            high--;
        
        if(pivot > list[high]) {
            list[first] = list[high];
            list[high] = pivot;
            return high;
        }else
            return first;
    }
