Suppose that you run 3-way radix quicksort (do not shuffle) on the following
array of 12 strings:
7637 8658 3548 2618 4264 8833 6517 4646 8688 7571 7116 3617
What is the array immediately after the first partitioning step?
Here is the contents of the array after each step:
lt i gt 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 1 11 7637 8658 3548 2618 4264 8833 6517 4646 8688 7571 7116 3617
