+# Quicksort
+
+A quicksort is a quicker method of sorting, and there are four different ways of implementing it.  The example given uses a pivot point.
+
+A pivot point is created in the middle of an array, and all larger items go after the pivot point, and smaller items are placed in front
+of the pivot point.
+
+The pivot point is then moved to the middle of either the smaller or larger items, and the sort is run again on that half.
+
+This continues over and over again until everything is in the proper place.
+
+## Install
+
+```
+pip install allalgorithms
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```py
+from allalgorithms.sorting import quicksort
+
+arr = [77, 2, 10, -2, 1, 7]
+
+print(quicksort(arr))
+# -> [-2, 1, 2, 7, 10, 77]
+```
+
+## API
+
+```
+quicksort(array)
+```
+
+> Returns a sorted array
+
+##### Params:
+
+- `array`: Sorted Array
