1. Take input in the array.
2. Get the maximum element.
3. Run the countsort() till (m/exp) > 0.
4. Sort the elements on the basis of the element at (exp)th place.
5. Assign the sorted elements back to array[].
6. Check the condition in step 3.
7. If false, print the sorted output array.
8. Exit the program.
