The partition algorithm that quicksort uses moves one item at a time from the unknown region into the appropriate region S1 or S2. If the item to be moved belongs in region S1, and S2 is empty, the algorithm will swap an array item with itself. Modify the partition algorithm to eliminate this unnecessary swapping. Does this change the order of the algorithm?
