Bubble sort:

This is the simple sorting algorithm to sort the elements in ascending order or descending order.

  • This algorithm makes the several passes through the elements of the array and the smallest elements are “bubble up” to the top of the array.
  • On each pass, the larger elements are “bubbled” towards the end of the array.
  • After all the passes are completed, the elements are arranged from smallest to biggest in order.
