# This program will illustrate how to implement bucket sort algorithm
# Wikipedia says: Bucket sort, or bin sort, is a sorting algorithm that works by distributing the
# elements of an array into a number of buckets. Each bucket is then sorted individually, either using
# a different sorting algorithm, or by recursively applying the bucket sorting algorithm. It is a
# distribution sort, and is a cousin of radix sort in the most to least significant digit flavour.
# Bucket sort is a generalization of pigeonhole sort. Bucket sort can be implemented with comparisons
# and therefore can also be considered a comparison sort algorithm. The computational complexity estimates
# involve the number of buckets.
# Time Complexity of Solution:
# Best Case O(n); Average Case O(n); Worst Case O(n)
