Implementing Quick Sort in Elixir

The article explores the implementation of the Quick Sort algorithm in Elixir, focusing on its divide-and-conquer strategy. It begins by explaining the algorithm's fundamental principles, including selecting a pivot and partitioning the list around it. Due to Elixir's immutable nature, the implementation is adapted to create new lists instead of modifying existing ones. The author details the code structure using the `sort/1` and a helper `function/3` to handle elements relative to the pivot. The article concludes with an encouragement to try the provided code in the interactive Elixir shell (iex). Overall, it is a comprehensive guide for implementing Quick Sort in a functional programming context.
