+/**
+ * This is a class to hold the efficiencty results of a sorter. We will use this
+ * because we can only have one return value from a method, but want to get more
+ * than one piece of data from each sorter.
+ * 
+ * We will write several constructors for this class, as not all sorting algorithms
+ * will use all of the fields. For example, radix sort does not use comparisons.
+ * Counting sort does not use swaps.
+ * 
+ * Writing several constructors for difference situations is an example of
+ * "polymorphism" -- the quality of object oriented design that lets a single
+ * interface have multiple implementations.
+ * 
+ * The methods that call the constructor of SortResult don't know it has lots of
+ * them, they only know what data they have to give it.
