* spelling corrections * review * improved documentation, removed redundant variables, added testing * added type hint * camel case to snake case * spelling fix * review * python --> Python # it is a brand name, not a snake * explicit cast to int * spaces in int list * "!= None" to "is not None" * Update comb_sort.py * various spelling corrections in documentation & several variables naming conventions fix * + char in file name * import dependency - bug fix Co-authored-by: John Law <johnlaw.po@gmail.com>
