Bubble Sort and Complexity

MediumPython

Problem

Write the code of bubble sort and explain its time and space complexities.

Implement bubble_sort(arr) to sort a list of integers in ascending order and return the sorted list. The algorithm must sort the input in place and should stop early when a complete pass makes no swaps.

Use only constant extra space. State the best-case, average-case, worst-case time complexities and the auxiliary space complexity.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(arr) <= 500
  • -10^9 <= arr[i] <= 10^9
  • The input list must be sorted in place
  • Return the same list object after sorting
