Usage

Simply import the AccelSort with the following:

const AccelSort = require("accel-sort");

Within AccelSort, pass it the specified array types and size to their dedicated functions:

sortIntegers:

let array = new Int32Array([3, 1, 2]);
let buffer = Buffer.from(array.buffer);
AccelSort.sortIntegers(buffer, array.length);

sortFloat:

let array = new Float32Array([5.8, -10.7, 1507.6563, 1.0001]);
let buffer = Buffer.from(array.buffer);
AccelSort.sortFloats(buffer, array.length);

After that, the original array object will be correctly sorted in place
