### Sample Inputs & Outputs
Ex1: [38,27,43,3,9,82,10] → [3,9,10,27,38,43,82]
Ex2: [5,2,4,6,1,3] → [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Ex3: [1] → [1]  (base case)

### Edge Cases
1. Empty array → []
2. Single element → return as-is
3. Already sorted — still O(n logn)
4. All same [3,3,3]
5. Very large — check recursive depth

Merge Sort

Sort array using quicksort: pick a pivot, partition array so elements < pivot are left, > pivot are right, recurse on both sides.

### Sample Inputs & Outputs
Ex1: [10,7,8,9,1,5] → [1,5,7,8,9,10]
Ex2: [1,2,3,4,5] → [1,2,3,4,5]  (sorted — worst case with bad pivot)
Ex3: [3,6,8,10,1,2,1] → [1,1,2,3,6,8,10]

### Edge Cases
1. Already sorted with last-element pivot → O(n²) worst case
2. All same elements
3. Single element
4. Two elements
5. Very large array — check stack depth

Quick Sort

Sort an array of non-negative integers using radix sort — sort digit by digit from least significant to most significant using counting sort as subroutine.

### Sample Inputs & Outputs
Ex1: [170,45,75,90,802,24,2,66] → [2,24,45,66,75,90,170,802]
Ex2: [1,10,100] → [1,10,100]
Ex3: [5,4,3,2,1] → [1,2,3,4,5]

### Edge Cases
1. All same values
2. Numbers of different digit lengths
3. Single element
4. Array with 0s
5. Very large numbers (many digits)

Radix Sort

Sort array of 0s, 1s, 2s in-place in one pass without using sort library. Known as Dutch National Flag problem.

### Sample Inputs & Outputs
Ex1: [2,0,2,1,1,0] → [0,0,1,1,2,2]
Ex2: [2,0,1] → [0,1,2]
Ex3: [0] → [0]

### Edge Cases
1. All same color [2,2,2]
2. Already sorted
3. Single element
4. Two elements
5. All 0s and all 2s (no 1s)

Sort Colors (Dutch National Flag)

Implement Design circular queue with array. Return the expected result as described.

### Sample Inputs & Outputs
Ex1: See problem description for sample input/output.
Ex2: Edge case: empty or single element input.

### Edge Cases
1. Empty input
2. Single element
3. All same values
4. Already in desired state
5. Maximum constraints
