Quick Sort 3

D
/**
 * @file
 * @brief Implementation Details
 * @details Quick sort 3 works on Dutch National Flag Algorithm
 * The major difference between simple quicksort and quick sort 3 comes in the
 * function partition3 In quick_sort_partition3 we divide the vector/array into
 * 3 parts. quick sort 3 works faster in some cases as compared to simple
 * quicksort.
