Quicksort with 3-way partition

Question

What is QuickSort with a 3-way partition?

Answer 1

  //code to implement Dijkstra 3-way partitioning

  package Sorting;

  public class QuickSortUsing3WayPartitioning {

private int[]original;
private int length;
private int lt;
private int gt;

public QuickSortUsing3WayPartitioning(int len){
    length = len;
    //original = new int[length];

    original = {0,7,8,1,8,9,3,8,8,8,0,7,8,1,8,9,3,8,8,8};

}

public void swap(int a, int b){ //here indexes are passed
    int temp = original[a];
    original[a] = original[b];
    original[b] = temp;
}

public int random(int start,int end){
    return (start + (int)(Math.random()*(end-start+1)));
}

public void partition(int pivot, int start, int end){
    swap(pivot,start);  // swapping pivot and starting element in that subarray

    int pivot_value = original[start];
    lt = start;
    gt = end;

    int i = start;
    while(i <= gt) {

        if(original[i] < pivot_value) {
            swap(lt, i);
            lt++;
            i++;
        }

        if(original[i] > pivot_value) {
            swap(gt, i);
            gt--;
        }
        if(original[i] == pivot_value)
            i++;
    }
}

public void Sort(int start, int end){
    if(start < end) {

        int pivot = random(start,end); // choose the index for pivot randomly
        partition(pivot, start, end); // about index the array is partitioned

        Sort(start, lt-1);
        Sort(gt+1, end);

    }
}

public void Sort(){
    Sort(0,length-1);
}

public void disp(){
    for(int i=0; i
