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 ...
Small code size. Comb sort ... (in variant forms) in some C++ sort implementations and in .NET. ... Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm. The algorithm starts at ...
Bubble sort is also be very fast and convenient in system management scripts. The same can be said about the occasional bubble sort when coding in “C”; the resulting mnemonic code is very fast and efficient for casual use on relatively smaller data sets/arrays.

Cocktail shaker sort, [1] also known as bidirectional bubble sort, [2] cocktail sort, shaker sort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort), ripple sort, shuffle sort, [3] or shuttle sort, is an extension of bubble sort. The algorithm extends bubble sort by operating in two directions. While it improves on bubble sort by more ...
Kendall tau distance is also called bubble-sort distance since it is equivalent to the number of swaps that the bubble sort algorithm would take to place one list in the same order as the other list. The Kendall tau distance was created by Maurice Kendall .
The worstsort algorithm is based on a bad sorting algorithm, badsort. The badsort algorithm accepts two parameters: L, which is the list to be sorted, and k, which is a recursion depth. At recursion level k = 0, badsort merely uses a common sorting algorithm, such as bubblesort, to sort its inputs and return
As another example, many sorting algorithms rearrange arrays into sorted order in-place, including: bubble sort, comb sort, selection sort, insertion sort, heapsort, and Shell sort. These algorithms require only a few pointers, so their space complexity is O(log n). [1] Quicksort operates in-place on the data to be sorted.
Shellsort, also known as Shell sort or Shell's method, is an in-place comparison sort. It can be seen as either a generalization of sorting by exchange (bubble sort) or sorting by insertion (insertion sort). [3] The method starts by sorting pairs of elements far apart from each other, then progressively reducing the gap between elements to be ...
