easySorting Fundamentals

Bubble Sort

Sort an integer array in nondecreasing order by implementing Bubble Sort. Do not use a built-in sort.

Work through the cases

3 examples

Input notation

One nonempty line of space-separated integers; at most 1000 values.

Expected result

The sorted values, space-separated.

Case 1

Input

8 3 5 3 -1

Expected output

-1 3 3 5 8

Case 2

Input

2 1

Expected output

1 2

Case 3

Input

0 -2 0 -1

Expected output

-2 -1 0 0

FROM IDEA TO IMPLEMENTATION

Understand the approach.

Compare the documented approaches below. Brute force, better, and optimal versions appear where available; a direct exercise may need only one approach.

Maintain a sorted portion while rearranging the remaining values. Worst-case time: O(n²); extra algorithm space: O(1). This lesson practices the named sorting algorithm.

import java.util.*;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        ArrayList<Long> values = new ArrayList<>();
        while (in.hasNextLong()) values.add(in.nextLong());
        long[] a = values.stream().mapToLong(Long::longValue).toArray();
        long n = a[0];
        for(int end=a.length-1;end>0;end--)for(int j=0;j<end;j++)if(a[j]>a[j+1]){long v=a[j];a[j]=a[j+1];a[j+1]=v;} for(long v:a)System.out.print(v+" ");
    }
}
