/* Bubble Sort is an algorithm to sort an array. It * compares adjacent element and swaps thier position * The big O on bubble sort in worst and best case is O(N^2). * Not efficient. * * In bubble sort, we keep iterating while something was swapped in * the previous inner-loop iteration. By swapped I mean, in the * inner loop iteration, we check each number if the number proceeding * it is greater than itself, if so we swap them. * * Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort */ /* * Doctests * * > bubbleSort([5, 4, 1, 2, 3]) * [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] * > bubbleSort([]) * [] * > bubbleSort([1, 2, 3]) * [1, 2, 3] * * > alternativeBubbleSort([5, 4, 1, 2, 3]) * [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] * > alternativeBubbleSort([]) * [] * > alternativeBubbleSort([1, 2, 3]) * [1, 2, 3] */ /* * Using 2 for loops */ function bubbleSort (items) { const length = items.length for (let i = (length - 1); i > 0; i--) { // Number of passes for (let j = (length - i); j > 0; j--) { // Compare the adjacent positions if (items[j] < items[j - 1]) { // Swap the numbers [items[j], items[j - 1]] = [items[j - 1], items[j]] } } } return items } /* * Implementation of 2 for loops method */ var array1 = [5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 12, 14] // Before Sort console.log('\n- Before Sort | Implementation using 2 for loops -') console.log(array1) // After Sort console.log('- After Sort | Implementation using 2 for loops -') console.log(bubbleSort(array1)) console.log('\n') /* * Using a while loop and a for loop */ function alternativeBubbleSort (arr) { let swapped = true while (swapped) { swapped = false for (let i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++) { if (arr[i] > arr[i + 1]) { [arr[i], arr[i + 1]] = [arr[i + 1], arr[i]] swapped = true } } } return arr } /* * Implementation of a while loop and a for loop method */ var array2 = [5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 12, 14] // Before Sort console.log('\n- Before Sort | Implementation using a while loop and a for loop -') console.log(array2) // After Sort console.log('- After Sort | Implementation using a while loop and a for loop -') console.log(alternativeBubbleSort(array2)) console.log('\n')
