This is pure Python implementation of comb sort algorithm.
|
|
Comb sort is a relatively simple sorting algorithm originally designed by Wlodzimierz Dobosiewicz in 1980.
|
|
It was rediscovered by Stephen Lacey and Richard Box in 1991. Comb sort improves on bubble sort algorithm.
|
|
In bubble sort, distance (or gap) between two compared elements is always one.
|
|
Comb sort improvement is that gap can be much more than 1, in order to prevent slowing down by small values
|
|
at the end of a list.
|
|
|
|

|
|
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
