Bubble sort work by comparing values of two numbers and then swapping them if they are in the wrong order until no more swapping can be done. procedure bubbleSort( A : list of sortable items ) defined as:
do
swapped := false
for each i in 0 to length(A) - 1 inclusive do:
if A[i] > A[i+1] then
swap( A[i], A[i+1] )
swapped := true
end if
end for
while swapped
end procedure

What are the advantages for bubble sort?
Bubble sort has no practical applications other than that it is often cited as an example of how not to write an algorithm. Insert sort is the best algorithm for sorting small lists of items and is often used in conjunction with quick sort to sort larger lists. Like insert sort, bubble sort is simple to implement and is a stable sort (equal items remain in the same order they were input). However, insert sort uses copy or move operations rather than swaps (which is actually three operations per swap) and is therefore quicker. The only time a bubble sort will work quicker than insert sort is when the array is already sorted, which renders the entire algorithm redundant. A modified algorithm that specifically tests if an array is sorted or not would be more efficient than a single-pass bubble sort.
What is a bubble sort used for?
Bubble sort, incorrectly referred to as sinking sort is a simple sorting algorithm (step by step procedure of calculations) that works to repeatedly step through list to be sorted. With the comparing of each adjacent items and swapping them into the correct order. This repeated until there are no swaps needed and the list of items are sorted.

Bubble sort Extra or in space?
Bubble sort is an "in place" algorithm. Other than a temporary "switch" variable, no extra space is required.
What is bubble sort and explain with examples?
bubbles
Can you draw a flow chart for bubble sort?
no
What are some sorting rules for math?
Binary sort and bubble sort are two.
How do you sort the given contents of an array?

Can you modify the bubble sort algorithm to search to sort an array of characters instead of array of integers?
The bubble sort algorithm can be applied to an array of characters. Every character can be translated to an integer equivalent via the ascii table
Why is the Bubble Sort algorithm also referred ro as Sink Sort?
Bubble sort got its name because if you could watch the way your data was changing, on each iteration you would see the greatest number "bubble" to the top.Similarly, you could said that you would see the lowest number "sink" to the bottom.
