Shell

The shell sort algorithm sorts a pair of elements that are not in sequence in a collection. The distance between the elements to be compared is decreased sequentially. This algorithm performs more operations and has a greater cache miss ratio than the quick sort algorithm.

In the following code, we can see the implementation of the shell sort algorithm. The ShellSorter function takes an integer array as a parameter and sorts it:

//main package has examples shown// in Go Data Structures and algorithms bookpackage main// importing fmt and bytes packageimport (  "fmt")// shell sorter methodfunc ShellSorter(elements []int) {  var (    n = len(elements)    intervals = []int{1}    k = 1  )  for {    var interval int    interval = power(2, k) + 1 if interval ...
