Like the node for linked lists, it is defined in terms of itself, recursively. There are two self-referential pointers: left (pointing to the left sub-tree) and right (pointing to the right sub-tree). Operations on the tree can be implemented using recursion. Note that because there are two self-referencing pointers (left and right), tree operations may require two recursive calls: At most two recursive calls will be made for any given call to "tree_contains" as defined above.

But no two calls at the same level of the call tree process the same part of the original list; thus, each level of calls needs only time all together (each call has some constant overhead, but since there are only calls at each level, this is subsumed in the factor). The result is that the algorithm uses only time. To sort an array of distinct elements, quicksort takes time in expectation, averaged over all permutations of elements with equal probability. We list here three common proofs to this claim providing different insights into quicksort's workings. If
