Quicksort is run on two inputs shown below to sort in ascending order taking the first element as pivot,
(i) 1, 2, 3,......., n (ii) n, n-1, n-2,......, 2, 1
Let C1 and C2 be the number of comparisons made for the inputs (i) and (ii) respectively. Then,
C1 < C2
C1 > C2
C1 = C2
We cannot say anything for arbitrary n
