algorithmz 0.8.4

/// Returns the gnome sorted version of the input.
///
/// Takes a list reference and returns a `Vec<i32>` or an error.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
/// ```
/// let result = algorithmz::sorting::gnome_sort(&[2,3,1,5,4]).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(result,[1,2,3,4,5]);
/// ```
///
/// Match example:
/// ```
/// use algorithmz::sorting::gnome_sort;
/// let my_list = [1,3,2,5,4,7,6,8];
/// match gnome_sort(&my_list) {
///     Ok(n) => println!("The result was: {:?}",n),
///     Err(e) => eprintln!("The error was: {}",e),
/// }
/// ```
