A quick sort processes the full list of values, by selecting a value from the list and moving all the larger values above it , and all the smaller values below it, then re-processing the two 'halfs' in the same way.

A randomised quick sort selects the test value by random, since the items in the list are all mixed up anyway, the chance of finding a good test value is just as likely by using a random value. If the list has been partially sorted before, the chance of finding a good test value is greater when using a random location than it would be using the first or last item in the list

How to find the running time of an algorithm?

To find the running time of an algorithm, you can analyze its efficiency by considering the number of operations it performs in relation to the input size. This is often done using Big O notation, which describes the worst-case scenario for how the algorithm's performance scales with input size. By analyzing the algorithm's complexity, you can estimate its running time and compare it to other algorithms to determine efficiency.
