Bases: Protocol

Base class for protocol classes.

Protocol classes are defined as:

class Proto(Protocol):
    def meth(self) -> int:
        ...

Such classes are primarily used with static type checkers that recognize structural subtyping (static duck-typing).

For example:

class C:
    def meth(self) -> int:
        return 0

def func(x: Proto) -> int:
    return x.meth()

func(C())  # Passes static type check

See PEP 544 for details. Protocol classes decorated with @typing.runtime_checkable act as simple-minded runtime protocols that check only the presence of given attributes, ignoring their type signatures. Protocol classes can be generic, they are defined as:

class GenProto[T](Protocol):
    def meth(self) -> T:
        ...
__gt__(other: object, /) bool
__lt__(other: object, /) bool
sorts.strand_sort.strand_sort[T](arr: list[T], reverse: bool = False, solution: list[T] | None = None) list[T]

Strand sort implementation source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strand_sort

Parameters:
  • arr – Unordered input list

  • reverse – Descent ordering flag

  • solution – Ordered items container

Examples: >>> strand_sort([4, 2, 5, 3, 0, 1]) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

>>> strand_sort([4, 2, 5, 3, 0, 1], reverse=True)
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
>>> strand_sort(["banana", "apple", "cherry"])
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
