The number of comparisons required by quicksort can be reduced by a few percent by using the median of three elements whenever a new guess at the median is required. A simple way to do this is to always select the median of the first, middle, and end values in the array segment being partitioned. Implement this refinement and compare it with the original version using the number of comparisons as a measure.
