Installation

Install directly from PyPI:

pip install meowsort

Verify installation:

pip show meowsort

---

Quick Start

from meowsort import sort_array

data = [5, 3, 9, 1]

sorted_data = sort_array(data)

print(sorted_data)

Output:

[1, 3, 5, 9]

---

Sorting Different Data Types

The library works with any comparable data type.

Numbers

from meowsort import sort_array

numbers = [8, 2, 6, 1]

print(sort_array(numbers))

Output

[1, 2, 6, 8]

Strings

from meowsort import sort_array

words = ["banana", "apple", "orange"]

print(sort_array(words))

Output

['apple', 'banana', 'orange']

---

Error Handling

The library validates input and raises clear exceptions if invalid data is provided.

Example:

from meowsort import sort_array

sort_array(None)

Raises:

InvalidInputError

---

Algorithms Used

MeowSort currently includes:

• Bubble Sort — optimized for small datasets
• Quick Sort — used for larger datasets

The algorithm is selected automatically based on the size of the input.

---

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or newer
