Bubble sort algorithm flowchart

This bubble sort algorithm flowchart presents the sorting process as a readable sequence: read the array, compare adjacent values, swap pairs that are out of order, and repeat passes until no swap occurs. It is particularly useful in introductory programming material, where students need to understand why one pass alone does not sort the whole array.

“Create a top-down bubble sort algorithm flowchart: start by reading an array of n values and setting the pass number to 1, compare each adjacent pair in the unsorted range, swap every out-of-order pair, repeat full passes until a pass makes no swaps, output the sorted array, and end.”

Ce que contient ce dessin

Comprenez les décisions qui le sous-tendent.

01Adjacent comparison

Each pass compares neighboring values in the remaining unsorted range.

02Swap condition

Only out-of-order pairs are exchanged, moving larger values toward the end.

03Termination rule

A full pass with no swaps is the stopping condition for a sorted array.

04Loop subroutine

The repeated passes are grouped in one explicit subroutine to keep the flowchart readable.

Use this for introductory algorithm instruction and trace exercises. For production sorting, choose an algorithm appropriate to the data size and requirements.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

When does bubble sort stop?

It stops after a full pass makes no swaps, which means the array is sorted.

What values are compared?

Each pass compares adjacent pairs in the still-unsorted range.

Why is the repeat step a subroutine?

It expresses the required repeated passes while keeping the rendered flowchart free of a cluttered return arrow.
