C Program To Implement Bubble Sort Algorithm.

Bubble sort algorithm starts by comparing the first two elements of an array and swapping if necessary, i.e., if you want to sort the elements of array in ascending order and if the first element is greater than second then, you need to swap the elements but, if the first element is smaller than second, you mustn't swap the element. 

 Then, again second and third elements are compared and swapped if it is necessary and this process go on until last and second last element is compared and swapped. This completes the first step of bubble sort.

If there are n elements to be sorted then, the process mentioned above should be repeated n-1 times to get required result. But, for better performance, in second step, last and second last elements are not compared as the element is automatically placed at last after first step. 

 In the third step, last and second last, second last and third last elements are not compared and so on. Graphical representation of bubble sort:



Method 1: Standard Method
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int data[100],i,n,step,temp;

/* get the number of inputs from the user */
printf("Enter How Many Data You Want To Sort: ");
scanf("%d",&n);

if(n<=0) printf("\n\tWrong Input?\n");
else {

for(i=0;i<n;++i) {
printf("\n(%d) Enter Element: ",i+1);
scanf("%d",&data[i]);
}

for(step=0;step<n-1;++step)
for(i=0;i<n-step-1;++i) {
if(data[i]>data[i+1])   /* To sort in descending order, only change > to < in this line. No more modification required. */
{
temp=data[i];
data[i]=data[i+1];
data[i+1]=temp;
}}

printf("\nAfter Sorting In Ascending Order: ");
for(i=0;i<n;++i)
printf("%d  ",data[i]);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}}

Method 2: Using Function
#include<stdio.h>

void bubble_sort(int[], int);

int main() {
int arr[200], num, i;

printf("Enter How Many Data You Want To Sort: ");
scanf("%d", &num);
if(num<=0) printf("\n\tWrong Input?\n");

else {
printf("\nEnter %d Elements:\n",num);
for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
scanf("%d", &arr[i]);

bubble_sort(arr, num);
}}

void bubble_sort(int iarr[], int num) {
int i, j, k, temp;

printf("\nUnsorted Data: ");
for (k = 0; k < num; k++) {
printf("%5d", iarr[k]);
}

for (i = 1; i < num; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < num - 1; j++) {
if (iarr[j] > iarr[j + 1]) { /* To sort in descending order, only change > to < in this line. No more modification required. */ 
temp = iarr[j];
iarr[j] = iarr[j + 1];
iarr[j + 1] = temp;
}}

printf("\n\nAfter pass %d : ", i);
for (k = 0; k < num; k++) {
printf("%5d", iarr[k]);
}}}

Method 3: Using Recursion and Pointer
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void bubbleSort(int *data, int n) {

int i, temp;
if (n > 0) {
for (i = 1; i < n; i++) {

if (data[i - 1] > data[i]) {  /* To sort in descending order, only change > to < in this line. No more modification required. */

temp = data[i];
data[i] = data[i - 1];
data[i - 1] = temp;
}}

bubbleSort(data, n - 1);
}
return;
}

int main() {
int i, n, *data;

/* get the number of inputs from the user */
printf("Enter How Many Data You Want To Sort: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
if(n<=0) printf("\n\tWrong Input?\n");

else {
/* dynamically allocate memory to store values */
data = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int) * n);

/* get the input data from the user */
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("\n(%d) Enter Element: ",i+1);
scanf("%d", &data[i]);
}

/* sorts the given numbers */
bubbleSort(data, n);

/* print the sorted numbers */
printf("\nAfter Sorting In Ascending Order: ");
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("%d  ", data[i]);
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}}

Method 4: Using Linked List
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

/* structure for a node */
struct node {
int data;
struct node *next;
};

/* Function to insert a node at the begining of a linked lsit */
void insertAtTheBegin(struct node **start_ref, int data);

/* Function to bubble sort the given linked lsit */
void bubbleSort(struct node *start);

/* Function to swap data of two nodes a and b*/
void swap(struct node *a, struct node *b);

/* Function to print nodes in a given linked list */
void printList(struct node *start);

int main() {
int arr[200], n, i;

printf("Enter How Many Data You Want To Sort: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
if(n<=0) printf("\n\tWrong Input?\n");

else { 
for(i=0;i<n;++i) {
printf("\n(%d) Enter Element: ",i+1);
scanf("%d",&arr[i]);
}

/* start with empty linked list */
struct node *start = NULL;

/* Create linked list from the array arr[]. */
for (i = 0; i<n; i++)
insertAtTheBegin(&start, arr[i]);

/* sort the linked list */
bubbleSort(start);

/* print list after sorting */
printf("\nAfter Sorting In Ascending Order: ");
printList(start);
printf("\n");
getchar();
return 0;
}}

/* Function to insert a node at the begining of a linked lsit */
void insertAtTheBegin(struct node **start_ref, int data) {

struct node *ptr1 = (struct node*)malloc(sizeof(struct node));
ptr1->data = data;
ptr1->next = *start_ref;
*start_ref = ptr1;
}

/* Function to print nodes in a given linked list */
void printList(struct node *start) {
struct node *temp = start;

while (temp!=NULL) {
printf("%d  ", temp->data);
temp = temp->next;
}}

/* Bubble sort the given linked lsit */
void bubbleSort(struct node *start) {
int swapped, i;
struct node *ptr1;
struct node *lptr = NULL;

/* Checking for empty list */
if (ptr1 == NULL)
return;

do {
swapped = 0;
ptr1 = start;

while (ptr1->next != lptr) {
if (ptr1->data > ptr1->next->data)   /* To sort in descending order, only change > to < in this line. No more modification required. */
{
swap(ptr1, ptr1->next);
swapped = 1;
}
ptr1 = ptr1->next;
}
lptr = ptr1;
}
while (swapped);
}

/* function to swap data of two nodes a and b*/
void swap(struct node *a, struct node *b) {
int temp = a->data;
a->data = b->data;
b->data = temp;
}

The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition*

This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. It is the definitive reference guide, now in a second edition. Although the first edition was written in 1978, it continues to be a worldwide best-seller. This second edition brings the classic original up to date to include the ANSI standard. For evolution of the planet earth and our modern understanding of biology, there was Darwin's Origin of the Species. For mathematics, there was Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Well, for the internet, for Facebook, for LinkedIn, Twitter, Instgram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Pornhub and even the odious website for Justin Bieber would never have existed without Kernigan and Ritchie (more affectionately known as K&R)'s classic, The C Programming Language. What language was TCP/IP written in? C. What language inspired both C++ and Java (and the abominable C#)? C. What language are most libraries on most operating systems written in if not assembler? C. ...
