Quickselect algorithm
func quickselect(a, k) {
var pivot = a.pick
var left = a.grep{|i| i < pivot}
var right = a.grep{|i| i > pivot}
given(left.len) { |l|
when(k) { pivot }
case(k < l) { __FUNC__(left, k) }
default { __FUNC__(right, k - l - 1) }
}
}
var v = [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
say v.range.map{|i| quickselect(v, i)}
Output:
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
