Write
X86 program to sort the list of integers in ascending/descending order. Read
the input from the text file and write the sorted data back to the same text
file using bubble sort
Algorithm for Bubble Sort
Bubble sort algorithm works 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 need not swap the element. Then, again second and third elements
are compared and swapped if it is required and this process go on until last
and second last element is compared and swapped. This completes the first pass
of bubble sort. By doing this we bubble out the largest element at the last
location in the array.
If there are n elements to be sorted then, the process
mentioned above should be repeated n times to get the sorted array. As,
in each pass one element is bubbled out. So to place all the elements in the
unsorted array at their proper place we need to repeat the above said process
for n times.
Following figure will give you better understanding of bubble sort:
