Question: ( 1 ) Here is the pseudocode for Hoare's partition scheme for the quicksort. PARTITION ( A , lo , hi ) pivot = A

(1) Here is the pseudocode for Hoare's partition scheme for the quicksort. PARTITION(A, lo, hi)
pivot = A[lo] i = lo-1 j = hi +1 while True
do i=i+1 while A[i]< pivot do j=j-1 while A[j]> pivot if i >= j: return j swap A[i] and A[j]
This PARTITION(A, lo, hi) procedure inputs an array A, and takes the first element x = A[lo] as the pivot element. The output is an array where all elements to the left of x are less than x, and all elements to the right of x are greater than x. Let A =[1,2,7,8,9,6,3,4,5] and the first partition is called as PARTITION(A,0, length(A)-1). Show the array A, after the first partition.
