JavaScript: Bubble Sort algorithm

JavaScript Function: Exercise-24 with Solution

Write a JavaScript function to apply Bubble Sort algorithm.

Note : According to wikipedia "Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that works by repeatedly stepping through the list to be sorted, comparing each pair of adjacent items and swapping them if they are in the wrong order".

Sample array: [12, 345, 4, 546, 122, 84, 98, 64, 9, 1, 3223, 455, 23, 234, 213]
Expected output: [3223, 546, 455, 345, 234, 213, 122, 98, 84, 64, 23, 12, 9, 4, 1]

Sample Solution: -

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Bubble Sort algorithm</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function bubble_Sort(a)
{
    var swapp;
    var n = a.length-1;
    var x=a;
    do {
        swapp = false;
        for (var i=0; i < n; i++)
        {
            if (x[i] < x[i+1])
            {
               var temp = x[i];
               x[i] = x[i+1];
               x[i+1] = temp;
               swapp = true;
            }
        }
        n--;
    } while (swapp);
 return x; 
}

console.log(bubble_Sort([12, 345, 4, 546, 122, 84, 98, 64, 9, 1, 3223, 455, 23, 234, 213]));

Output:

[3223,546,455,345,234,213,122,98,84,64,23,12,9,4,1]

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

How to check whether a string contains a substring in JavaScript?

ECMAScript 6 introduced String.prototype.includes:

const string = "foo";
const substring = "oo";

console.log(string.includes(substring));

includes doesn't have Internet Explorer support, though. In ECMAScript 5 or older environments, use String.prototype.indexOf, which returns -1 when a substring cannot be found: 

var string = "foo";
var substring = "oo";

console.log(string.indexOf(substring) !== -1);
