Algorithms

Your task is to develop an algorithm that would sort data such as these from least to greatest. Specifically, given an unsorted set of N decimal values, your algorithm should sort them to give an answer of the sorted data. For this set of N = 6, your algorithm should produce:

-0.12
0.53
0.98
1.36
1.92
3.18

Execute your algorithm for a different set of data, such as a subset of the given data, data you make up, or another month's climate data, such as February 2017: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global-regions/201702

Does your algorithm work for any N? Have you thought of corner cases it might need to handle, such as N = 0 or N = 1?
