"""
Comb sort is a relatively simple sorting algorithm originally designed by Wlodzimierz Dobosiewicz in 1980.
Later it was rediscovered by Stephen Lacey and Richard Box in 1991. Comb sort improves on bubble sort.

This is pure python implementation of comb sort algorithm
For doctests run following command:
python -m doctest -v comb_sort.py
or
python3 -m doctest -v comb_sort.py

For manual testing run:
python comb_sort.py
