Sorting and Searching Algorithms: Examples and Pseudocode

Bubble Sort Algorithm

We assume list is an array of n elements. We further assume that the swap function swaps the values of the given array elements.

begin BubbleSort(list)

   for all elements of list
      if list[i] > list[i+1]
         swap(list[i], list[i+1])
      end if
   end for
   
   return list
   
end BubbleSort

Pseudocode for Bubble Sort

We observe in the algorithm that Bubble Sort compares each pair of array elements unless the whole array is completely sorted in ascending order.
