Bubble Sort Explained Simply — Algorithm, Code & Complexity
Bubble Sort is a simple sorting algorithm that is primarily used for educational purposes. It works by repeatedly comparing adjacent elements and swapping them if they are in the wrong order, allowing larger elements to 'bubble up' to the end of the list. While not efficient for large datasets, it is a great way to understand sorting logic and algorithmic thinking.
- ▪Bubble Sort is not used in production environments due to its inefficiency.
- ▪The algorithm involves comparing and swapping adjacent elements until the list is sorted.
- ▪Its average and worst-case time complexity is O(n²), while the best case is O(n) when the array is already sorted.

If wrong order, swap. Larger elements "bubble up" to the end.
