Feature Request: Implement various sorting algorithms #660
Description
Description of the problem
We need to enhance the project by implementing a collection of commonly used sorting algorithms. Adding these algorithms will improve functionality and provide users with efficient tools for sorting data. The goal is to implement a variety of sorting algorithms, each well-documented and optimized for performance. Below is a list of sorting algorithms to be added:
- Shell Sort
- Radix Sort
- Tim Sort
- Tree Sort
- Cycle Sort
- Odd-even Merge Sort
- Comb Sort
- Bitonic Sort
Example of the problem
This is a feature request rather than a bug, so no specific buggy code exists to reproduce. However, as an example of what’s needed, here’s a placeholder for where sorting functionality could be added:
# Example of missing sorting functionality
def sort_data(data):
# Placeholder - no sorting implemented yet
return data
# Desired usage
data = [64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90]
sorted_data = sort_data(data)
print(sorted_data) # Expected: [11, 12, 22, 25, 34, 64, 90]
