Introduction Shell Sort is an efficient, in-place, comparison-based sorting algorithm that generalizes insertion sort by allowing the exchange of items that are far apart. It’s named after its inventor, Donald Shell, who introduced it in 1959. Shell sort is...

Introduction Comb sort is a relatively simple yet efficient comparison-based sorting algorithm that improves bubble sort by eliminating turtles (small values at the end of the list) early on. It introduces a gap between compared elements, gradually shrinking...
