Write a program that performs kSmall search for the nth smallest element in the array {4, 10, 12, 1, 8, 3, 6, 9}. The programming language is java and should not contain the sort.array method. The program should work from user-defined input and displays the nth smallest element in the given array. Use Recursion and leave comments for the steps and base case USING THE BELOW LOGIC

Write a program that performs kSmall search for the nth smallest element in the array {4, 10, 12, 1, 8, 3, 6, 9}. The programming language is java and should not contain the sort.array method. The program should work from user-defined input and displays the nth smallest element in the given array. Use Recursion and leave comments for the steps and base case USING THE BELOW LOGIC

• Let:
kSmall (k, anArray, first, last)
kth smallest item in anArray[first..last]
Solution:
kSmall(k, anArray, first, last)
kSmall(k, anArray, first, pivotIndex-1)
if k < pivotIndex
if k = pivotIndex
first + 1
first + 1
kSmall(k- (pivotIndex-first+1), anArray,
pivotIndex+1, last)
if k > pivotIndex
first + 1
