/*

Shaker Sort aka Cocktail aka bidirectional sort aka ripple sort is an extension of bubble sort.
Cocktail extends bubble sort by operating in two directions
Algortihm - 1. Loop through array from left to right -> compare adjacent values & swap accordingly
            2. Loop through array in opposite direction i.e from end to start of array
Time Complexity - 1. Best Case : O(n)
                  2. Worst/Average Case : O(n*n)
