Bubble Sort—Python

Many computer science students are expected to perform sorting. Here is an example of doing a bubble sort in Python.

def bubble_sort(array):
    # Grab the length of the array
    n = len(array)

    # Iterate through array from 0 to n
    for i in range(len(array)):

        # Iterate through array from 1 to n - i
        for j in range(1, n - i):

            # Now check if the element at array[j - 1] is larger than array[j]
            if array[j - 1] > array[j]:
                # Perform a swap of the elements
                temp = array[j - 1]
                array[j - 1] = array[j]
                array[j] = temp

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unsorted = [10, 5, 2, 3, 1]
    print('Unsorted list is: ', unsorted)

    bubble_sort(unsorted)
    print('Sorted list is now: ', unsorted)
