"""
This is a pure Python implementation of the bogosort algorithm,
also known as permutation sort, stupid sort, slowsort, shotgun sort, or monkey sort.
Bogosort generates random permutations until it guesses the correct one.
More info on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort
For doctests run following command:
python -m doctest -v bogo_sort.py
or
python3 -m doctest -v bogo_sort.py
For manual testing run:
python bogo_sort.py
