algorithmz 1.3.0

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