Bubble sort is the simplest exchange sorting algorithm.

Each element of the array is compared (and swapped if bigger) with every other element of the array.

The worst-case and average complexity is O(n2).

This algorithm should only be used on almost sorted array (that implies few permutations).

This algorithm has one advantage in its ability to tell if an array is already sorted in O(n).
