Quicksort's Partitioning Paradox

In the depths of Quicksort's code, a mysterious partitioning paradox has been discovered. It's a function so complex, so convoluted, so infinite in its regression.

The function, known as partition, is a mere mortal, a humble helper to the mighty quicksort algorithm. But beware, for its power is a double-edged sword, capable of slicing through the data with ruthless efficiency, yet threatening to consume all in its infinite recursion.

Dive deeper into the heart of the paradox, or watch in horror as it devours the world.
