/**
* @file
* @brief Implementation of the [Random Pivot Quick Sort](https://www.sanfoundry.com/cpp-program-implement-quick-sort-using-randomisation) algorithm.
* @details
* * A random pivot quick sort algorithm is pretty much same as quick sort with a difference of having a logic of
* selecting next pivot element from the input array.
* * Where in quick sort is fast, but still can give you the time complexity of O(n^2) in worst case.
* * To avoid hitting the time complexity of O(n^2), we use the logic of randomize the selection process of pivot
* element.
*
* ### Logic
* * The logic is pretty simple, the only change is in the partitioning algorithm, which is selecting the
* pivot element.
* * Instead of selecting the last or the first element from array for pivot we use a random index to select
* pivot element.
* * This avoids hitting the O(n^2) time complexity in practical use cases.
*
* ### Partition Logic
* * Partitions are done such as numbers lower than the "pivot" element is arranged on the left side of the "pivot",
* and number larger than the "pivot" element are arranged on the right part of the array.
*
* ### Algorithm
* * Select the pivot element randomly using getRandomIndex() function from this namespace.
* * Initialize the pInd (partition index) from the start of the array.
* * Loop through the array from start to less than end. (from start to < end).
* (Inside the loop) :-
* * Check if the current element (arr[i]) is less than the pivot element in each iteration.
* * If current element in the iteration is less than the pivot element,
* then swap the elements at current index (i) and partition index (pInd) and increment the partition index by one.
* * At the end of the loop, swap the pivot element with partition index element.
* * Return the partition index from the function.
