And what of the likelihood that the original collection is modified when using the quickselect algorithm, thus introducing observable side effects in what could reasonably be considered a "read-only" computation?

From the Wikipedia page cited: As with quicksort, quickselect is generally implemented as an in-place algorithm, and beyond selecting the kth element, it also partially sorts the data. When the above is applicable, those quicks

A mental exercise I perform when "reference" is used in this context is to substitute it with "pointer." I find it clarifying and rarely, if ever, incorrect.
