.SYNOPSIS
Measures the speed of QuickSort
.DESCRIPTION
This PowerShell script measures the speed of the QuickSort algorithm.
QuickSort is an in-place sorting algorithm. Developed by British computer scientist
Tony Hoare in 1959 and published in 1961, it is still a commonly used algorithm for
sorting. When implemented well, it can be somewhat faster than merge sort and about
two or three times faster than heapsort.
.PARAMETER numIntegers
Specifies the number of integers to sort
.EXAMPLE
PS> ./measure-QuickSort.ps1
🧭 0.085 sec to sort 1000 integers by QuickSort
