Quicksort

Extract from Scala by Example

def sort(xs: Array[Int]) {
  def swap(i: Int, j: Int) {
    val t = xs(i); xs(i) = xs(j); xs(j) = t
  }
  def sort1(l: Int, r: Int) {
    val pivot = xs((l + r) / 2)
    var i = l; var j = r
    while (i <= j) {
      while (xs(i) < pivot) i += 1
      while (xs(j) > pivot) j -= 1
      if (i <= j) {
        swap(i, j)
        i += 1
        j -= 1
      }
    }
    if (l < j) sort1(l, j)
    if (j < r) sort1(i, r)
  }
  sort1(0, xs.length - 1)
