Quick Sort 3

/**
 * @file
 * @brief Implementation Details
 * @details Quick sort 3 works on Dutch National Flag Algorithm
 * The major difference between simple quicksort and quick sort 3 comes in the
 * function partition3 In quick_sort_partition3 we divide the vector/array into
 * 3 parts. quick sort 3 works faster in some cases as compared to simple
 * quicksort.

About us

We are a group of programmers helping each other build new things, whether it be writing complex encryption programs, or simple ciphers. Our goal is to work together to document and model beautiful, helpful and interesting algorithms using code. We are an open-source community - anyone can contribute. We check each other's work, communicate and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to be welcoming, respectful, yet make sure that our code follows the latest programming guidelines.
