<br/>The reason QuickSort is sometimes referred to as an in-place sort is because there's more than one definition of "in-place". Some reference materials will strictly mandate "constant" additional space, while others define it as meaning "constant or logarithmic" (O(N) or O(log N)) additional space.
<br/>So, depending on which definition you use, QuickSort can be in-place, or not. [[Special:Contributions/139.57.100.63|139.57.100.63]] ([[User talk:139.57.100.63|talk]]) 21:37, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
