    QuickSort is a divide and conquer algorithm that picks an element as a pivot and partitions the given array around the picked pivot. MergeSort is also a divide and conquer algorithm. It divides the input array in two halves, calls itself for the two halves and then merges the two sorted halves. An experiment observed that out of all sorting algorithms, iterative MergeSort was the worst followed by recursive MergeSort, while both QuickSorts were very close in run time with recursive being clearly faster for large input sizes.
