An Empirical Derivation of the Run Time of the Bubble Sort Algorithm.

Gonzales, Michael G.

Computer Education, n46 p16-17 Feb 1984

Suggests a moving pictorial tool to help teach principles in the bubble sort algorithm. Develops such a tool applied to an unsorted list of numbers and describes a method to derive the run time of the algorithm. The method can be modified to run the times of various other algorithms. (JN)
