Description
Adds the Comb Sort algorithm to
sorts/.Comb sort is an improvement over bubble sort: instead of always comparing adjacent elements, it compares elements separated by a
gapthat starts large and shrinks each pass by a factor of ~1.3. This quickly moves small values stuck near the end (so-called "turtles") toward the front, giving much better practical performance than bubble sort while staying simple and in-place.O(n^2 / 2^p)(wherep= number of increments) → close toO(n log n)in practice,O(n^2)worst caseO(1)(in-place)Checklist
