The POSIX syntax for defining functions is quicksort() <compound command>.
The ksh syntax is function quicksort <compound command>.
What you are using is a hybrid that works only in bash (and, I think perhaps in zsh).

What do you expect in $1? Why are you using echo?
$1 should contain the array passed to the function. I found this method searching the web. Is there a better method?
I suspect the problem may be related to this since when it descends to the first recursion level, the array length is seen as 1 and the function exits, returning only three numbers from the array. A check of $l and $g just prior to passing them to the recursive call shows them as they should be, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
hi, I was wondering if there was a good way to create an array within a function, where the name is based on a passed argument? I tried this:

arrayName=$1
let i=0
while read line
do
arrayName=${line}
let i+=1... (5 Replies)
