COUNTING SORT ALGORITHM
Assumption :
1. Element of array should be integer
2. Each integer should be in the range of [0, 10000000]
Time Complexity : O(max_value)
Space Complexity : O(max_value)

""" Sort natural number by counting sort algorithm """

Why is there an asterisk between starting parentheses and countingSort? @lowjack1
