def double_sort(lst):
"""this sorting algorithm sorts an array using the principle of bubble sort ,
but does it both from left to right and right to left ,
hence i decided to call it "double sort"
:param collection: mutable ordered sequence of elements
:return: the same collection in ascending order
Examples:
>>> double_sort([-1 ,-2 ,-3 ,-4 ,-5 ,-6 ,-7])
[-7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1]
>>> double_sort([])
[]
>>> double_sort([-1 ,-2 ,-3 ,-4 ,-5 ,-6])
[-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1]
>>> double_sort([-3, 10, 16, -42, 29]) == sorted([-3, 10, 16, -42, 29])
True
