Bubble sort


Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm, but it has a slow process time. It will divide an input list into two parts—a sublist of items already sorted on the right side and a sublist of items remaining to be sorted in the rest of the list. If we are going to sort a list of elements in ascending order, the algorithm will move the greatest value to the right position followed by the second greatest value and so on, similar to air bubbles when they rise to the top. Suppose we have an array of unsorted elements and are going to sort them using the bubble sort algorithm. The following are the steps required to perform the sorting process:

  1. Compare each pair of adjacent items, for instance array[0] with array[1], array[1] with array[2], and so on.
  2. Swap that pair if the items are not in the correct order. Since we are going to sort in ascending order, the correct order will be array[0] <= array[1], array[1] <= array[2], and so on.
  3. Repeat the first and second steps until the end...
