def send_to_goulag(input_list:list)-> list :

"""Sorts a list of numbers using the unique "Goulag Sort" method.
|
|
|
|
This algorithm processes a list of numbers through a distinctive iterative and
|
|
recursive procedure, inspired by the "Stalin Sort" concept. Here's how it operates:
|
|
|
|
1. **Iterative Filtering:** It iterates through the main list. If an element
|
|
is found to be greater than its subsequent element, the subsequent element
|
|
is moved to a temporary holding list (`temp`). The main list then continues
|
|
with the remaining elements.
|
|
|
|
2. **Recursive Processing of Held Items:** If the `temp` list contains more than
|
|
one item, the `send_to_goulag` algorithm recursively processes `temp`. This
|
|
filtering and holding process continues until the sub-list contains a single
|
|
item or becomes empty.
|
|
|
|
3. **Partial Re-insertion:** After the recursive calls (or if `temp` was empty/single-item),
|
|
the algorithm attempts to re-insert the elements from `temp` back into the main list.
|
|
This re-insertion is performed by finding a suitable position where the held item
|
|
is less than the current element in the main list, maintaining a partial order.
|
|
|
|
4. **Final Appending:** Any remaining elements in `temp` that were not re-inserted
|
|
into the middle of the list are then appended to the end of the main list.
|
|
|
|

Args:
|
|
input_list (list): The list of numbers to be processed and sorted.
|
|
This list will be modified **in-place**.
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
list: The list after being processed by the Goulag Sort algorithm. The result
|
|
is an ordered list.

Examples:
|
|
>>> from goulag_sort import send_to_goulag
|
|
>>> my_list = [5, 2, 8, 1, 9, 4]
|
|
>>> send_to_goulag(my_list)
|
|
[1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9]
|
|
|
|
>>> empty_list = []
|
|
>>> send_to_goulag(empty_list)
|
|
