Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the input list element by element, comparing the current element with the one after it, swapping their values if needed. These passes through the list are repeated until no swaps have to be performed during a pass, meaning that the ...

Comb sort is a relatively simple sorting algorithm based on bubble sort and originally designed by Włodzimierz Dobosiewicz in 1980. [36] It was later rediscovered and popularized by Stephen Lacey and Richard Box with a Byte Magazine article published in April 1991.
The reason for this is that bubble sort only passes through the list in one direction and therefore can only move items backward one step each iteration. An example of a list that proves this point is the list (2,3,4,5,1), which would only need to go through one pass of cocktail sort to become sorted, but if using an ascending bubble sort would ...
Swapping pairs of items in successive steps of Shellsort with gaps 5, 3, 1. Shellsort, also known as Shell sort or Shell's method, is an in-place comparison sort.It can be understood as either a generalization of sorting by exchange (bubble sort) or sorting by insertion (insertion sort). [3]

The pseudocode for the bubble sort algorithm needes n(n-1)/2 comparisons. Always. Thus best/wors/average time complexity of the pseudcode algorithm is O(n^2). However, version of bubble sort described in the first paragraph has best case O(n) complexity since it can detect that input list is already sorted.
