I have made a bubble sort algorithm (sorta) using JS. It works sometimes, but the problem is that it only iterates through the array once. Here is my code:
function bubble(arr) {
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i] > arr[i + 1]) {
var a = arr[i]
var b = arr[i + 1]
arr[i] = b
arr[i + 1] = a
}
}
return arr;
}
You need an inner loop to complete the sort correctly:
function bubble(arr) {
var len = arr.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len ; i++) {
for(var j = 0 ; j < len - i - 1; j++){ // this was missing
if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1]) {
// swap
var temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j+1];
arr[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
return arr;
}
document.write(bubble([1,9,2,3,7,6,4,5,5]));
