Introduction to Quicksort - Mastering Data Structures and Sorting Algorithms

You say:

As quicksort doesn’t use any space, it’s a in-place sorting algorithm .

But the worst complexity space is O(log(n))
I am puzzled by the concept of no space. All the elements will have to be in an array first and foremost.

Can you please explain how “no space” works? Thanks!
