Sorting Algorithms: Bubble Sort
Students will implement and analyze the bubble sort algorithm, focusing on its step-by-step process.
Key Questions
- Explain the process of bubble sort using a small set of numbers.
- Evaluate the efficiency of bubble sort compared to simply re-ordering items manually.
- Predict how the number of comparisons changes as the list size increases in a bubble sort.
