Revise the function quick Sort so that it always chooses the first item in the array as the pivot. Add a counter to the function partition that counts the number of comparisons that are made. Compare the behavior of the revised function with the original one, using arrays of various sizes. At what size array does the difference in the number of comparisons become significant? For which pivot selection strategy does the difference in the number of comparisons become significant?
