This PR introduces a fully documented implementation of Pigeonhole Sort in R, designed for sorting integer vectors efficiently when the range of elements is not significantly larger than the number of elements.
Overview
The
pigeonhole_sort
function sorts an integer vector by placing elements into "holes" corresponding to their values. It counts the occurrences of each integer within the range of input values and then reconstructs the sorted array. The algorithm is efficient for integers with a small range relative to the size of the array.Features
Complexity
range = max(arr) - min(arr) + 1
