Fix bugs and typo errors in closest_pair_of_points.py
Summary This pull request addresses critical logic errors and typos in the closest_pair_of_points.py algorithm. These fixes ensure the algorithm produces mathematically correct results and passes all automated tests. Key Fixes: Loop Logic Correction: In dis_between_closest_in_strip , the search loop was modified to correctly check all necessary pairs within the strip optimization. Recursion Parameter Fix: Corrected a typo in closest_pair_of_points_sqr where the X-sorted list was not being correctly partitioned for recursive calls. Doctest Alignment: Updated the doctest in dis_between_closest_in_strip from 85 to 5 to reflect the correct mathematical result after the logic fix. The previous expected value of 85 was a result of the bugged implementation.
