Cocktail Selection Sort

// Returns Sorted elements after performing Cocktail Selection Sort
// It is a Sorting algorithm which chooses the minimum and maximum element in an
// array simultaneously, and swaps it with the lowest and highest available
// position iteratively or recursively

About us

We are a group of programmers helping each other build new things, whether it be writing complex encryption programs, or simple ciphers. Our goal is to work together to document and model beautiful, helpful and interesting algorithms using code. We are an open-source community - anyone can contribute. We check each other's work, communicate and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to be welcoming, respectful, yet make sure that our code follows the latest programming guidelines.
