Bubble sort is a sorting algorithm. This sorting is done by comparing the elements just after another in the iteration.

Bubble sort comparison is based from the first and second element checking which one is greater.

Then each element is compared with iteration moves to the next element same process is been done.

Algorithm for Bubble sort
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
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#define MAX 10
int list[MAX] = {1,8,4,6,0,3,5,2,7,9};
void display(){
int i;
printf("[");
// navigate through all items
for(i = 0; i < MAX; i++){
printf("%d ",list[i]);
}
printf("]\n");
}
void bubbleSort() {
int temp;
int i,j;
bool swapped = false;
// loop through all numbers
for(i = 0; i < MAX-1; i++) {
swapped = false;
// loop through numbers falling ahead
for(j = 0; j < MAX-1-i; j++) {
printf(" Items compared: [ %d, %d ] ", list[j],list[j+1]);
// check if next number is lesser than current no
// swap the numbers.
// (Bubble up the highest number)
if(list[j] > list[j+1]) {
temp = list[j];
list[j] = list[j+1];
list[j+1] = temp;
swapped = true;
printf(" => swapped [%d, %d]\n",list[j],list[j+1]);
}else {
printf(" => not swapped\n");
}
}
// if no number was swapped that means
// array is sorted now, break the loop.
if(!swapped) {
break;
}
printf("Iteration %d#: ",(i+1));
display();
}
}
main(){
printf("Input Array: ");
display();
printf("\n");
bubbleSort();
