Push_Swap Sorting Tester | 42

What is the purpose of this script?

This little Python script allows you to know if your program sorts correctly smalls and large stacks.

All features:

• it checks a lot of different common parsing mistakes.
• for all the small stacks (3, 4 and 5 numbers), it checks if your program sorts correctly all possible combinations of numbers.
• for big stacks (100 and 500 numbers), it generates 10 random stacks and checks if your program sorts them correctly.
• it displays how many moves your program used to sort the stack, as well as the average, max and min moves.
