Note:

Please don't take effort to create pull requests for new algorithms or data structures. This is just a curiosity-driven personal hobby and was originally not intended to be a library. Feel free fork and modify to fit your need if that's what you are looking for. You can however open issues or fix bugs with pull requests, I would be happy to take a look when I get time

Note: On a decent desktop, in given implementations here for +ive random input integers, the clear winner is counting sort (~0.1 seconds to sort 1 million integers) followed by Radix Sort (~0.4 seconds). Merge Sort, Heap Sort, Quick Sort & Bucket Sort are all winners for +ive & -ive random integer inputs. Tree sort has pointer juggling overhead on backing Red-Black Tree, so performs 8 times slower than Merge Sort in practice. Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Selection Sort & Shell Sort are among the worst for random input as observed from results.
