Problem-specifications: Possible new exercise: sorting

[ErikSchierboom]

One exercise I feel missing is one that deals with sorting, one the first, key algorithms one learns when learning to program. My suggestion is to create an exercise that would require the user to implement several sort algorithms, like:

• Bubble sort
• Quicksort
• Bucket sort
• Insertion sort

Some of the algorithms lend themselves to parallellization, which can make for an additional challenge if people want to give it a try.

I'd be more than happy to show a default implementation and create the relevant exercise files if people think this is a good idea.

That Algorithms are about sorting not searching. And for searching there is
binary search exercise as well as a binary search tree.

@NobbZ oh my, I meant sorting :flushed: There is no sorting exercise, is there?

[NobbZ]

None that I were aware off ;)

I shall submit a PR with a proposol for such an exercise then :)

[ErikSchierboom]

I'll close this issue, which I'll refer to once I have a PR ready.

Is there one available? If not, I'd like to reopen. Related: https://github.com/exercism/problem-specifications/issues/761
