* pre-commit: Upgrade psf/black for stable style 2023 Updating https://github.com/psf/black ... updating 22.12.0 -> 23.1.0 for their `2023 stable style`. * https://github.com/psf/black/blob/main/CHANGES.md#2310 > This is the first [psf/black] release of 2023, and following our stability policy, it comes with a number of improvements to our stable style… Also, add https://github.com/tox-dev/pyproject-fmt and https://github.com/abravalheri/validate-pyproject to pre-commit. I only modified `.pre-commit-config.yaml` and all other files were modified by pre-commit.ci and psf/black. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci --------- Co-authored-by: pre-commit-ci[bot] <66853113+pre-commit-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

This function implements the shell sort algorithm
|
|
which is slightly faster than its pure implementation.
|
|
|
|
This shell sort is implemented using a gap, which
|
|
shrinks by a certain factor each iteration. In this
|
|
implementation, the gap is initially set to the
|
|
length of the collection. The gap is then reduced by
|
|
a certain factor (1.3) each iteration.
|
|
|
|
For each iteration, the algorithm compares elements
|
|
that are a certain number of positions apart
|
|
(determined by the gap). If the element at the higher
|
|
position is greater than the element at the lower
|
|
position, the two elements are swapped. The process
|
|
is repeated until the gap is equal to 1.
|
|
|
|
The reason this is more efficient is that it reduces
|
|
the number of comparisons that need to be made. By
|
|
using a smaller gap, the list is sorted more quickly.
