+Shor Algorithm is one of the basic quantum computing algorithm
+that is used in breaking the RSA cryptography protocol, by finding the
+prime numbers that are used to create the public key value, n
+
+In this implementation, I have used a very simple construct without 
+the use of qiskit or cirq to help understand how Shor algorithm's
+idea actually works.
