+A pure Python implementation of the Reverse Selection Sort algorithm.
+This algorithm progressively sorts the array by finding the largest
+element in each pass and placing it at the front.
+For doctests run following command:
+python3 -m doctest -v reverse_selection_sort.py
+For manual testing run:
