/*
Summary: Cocktail sort is a variation of bubble sort that is both a stable sorting algorithm and a comparison sort. The algorithm differs from a bubble sort in that it sorts in both directions on each pass through the list. This sorting algorithm is only marginally more difficult to implement than a bubble sort, and solves the problem of turtles in bubble sorts.
The various names of cocktail sort are bidirectional bubble sort, cocktail shaker sort, shaker sort, ripple sort, shuffle sort, shuttle sort or happy hour sort.
Complexity - O(n^2)
