* more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort
* Cocktail Shaker Sort is an algorithm that is a Bidirectional Bubble Sort.
* The algorithm extends bubble sort by operating in two directions.
* While it improves on bubble sort by more quickly moving items to the beginning of the list,
* it provides only marginal performance improvements.
