List Array

/**
 * @file
 * @brief [Dynamic Array](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_array)
 *
 * @details
 * The list_array is the implementation of list represented using array.
 * We can perform basic CRUD operations as well as other operations like sorting etc.
 *
 * ### Algorithm
 * It implements various method like insert, sort, search etc. efficiently.
 * You can select the operation and methods will do the rest work for you.
 * You can insert element, sort them in order, search efficiently, delete values and print the list.
