Question:
Implement the following variations of quicksort algorithm:
1- Basic quicksort where the chosen pivot is the first element of an array.
2- Quicksort where the pivot is the median of three elements of an array (first, last, and middle).
3- Quicksort where the pivot is the median of three randomly chosen elements of an array.
