These executables illustrate a number of ways of implementing the quicksort algorithm using a number of the new facilities available from modern versions of Fortran. The impact of using recursion and function in-lining are considered along with mechanisms for making the sort procedure more flexible for the user. This includes the use of user-defined types and abstract data types.

Six executables may be generated using the makefile provided

Sample output from qstypeExtMain

       Sorts array of double precision reals into ascending order
       using an extended type.
       Basic sorting operations implemented by function calls
       to type bound procedures.

       This run is NOT sorting already sorted data
       Switch on by setting the variable dosorted to TRUE
       Beware: this can cause long execution times

       Ignore last three columns of the output table
