👉 Crescenting is a term used in mathematics and computer science to describe a process where one array is "crooked" or "wavy" compared to another. It's often used in the context of sorting algorithms, particularly in the case of quicksort, where it helps maintain the integrity of the sorted array by moving elements towards their correct positions. In quicksort, an array is divided into two halves and then each half is recursively sorted using a similar algorithm as described below: 1.
