1. Modify Quicksort to find the smallest K values in an array of records. Your output should be the array modified so that the K smallest values are sorted in the first K positions of the array. Your algorithm should do the minimum amount of work necessary.

2. Modify Quicksort to sort a sequence of variable-length strings stored one after the other in a character array, with a second array (storing pointers to strings) used to index the strings. Your function should modify the index array so that the first pointer points to the beginning of the lowest valued string, and so on.
