Recursive Thinking — Kth Smallest

Design a recursive algorithm to solve the following problem. Do not write any code.

Find the kth smallest value in an array t of numbers.

Hint: If kequals the size of t, then return the largest value in t. Otherwise, create two new arrays, one containing the values less than t [0] and one with the values larger than or equal to t [0]. (If allthe values are larger than or equal to t [0], then move t [0] to the empty first array.) Keep track of how many elements are in each new array. Now what?
