Explanation of Solution

Bubble sort:

This is simple sorting algorithm to sort the elements in ascending order or descending order.

  • This algorithm makes the several passes through the elements of the array and the smallest elements are “bubble up” to the top of the array.
  • On each pass, the larger elements are “bubbled” towards the end of the array.
  • After all the passes are completed, the elements are arranged from smallest to biggest in order.

Example:

Consider the list of elements (4, 8, 2, 6) to perform the bubble sort.

Pass 1:

  • Compare the elements in the first pair (4 and 8); no swap is needed because the pair is already in order.
  • Now compare the elements in the second pair (8 and 2); the value 8 is higher than the value 2. So, swap the values 8 and 2.
  • Compare the elements in the third pair (8 and 6); the value 8 is higher than the value 6. So, swap the values 8 and 6.

Double Insertion Sort is a variation on Insertion Sort that works from the middle of the array out. At each iteration, some middle portion of the array is sorted. On the next iteration, take the two adjacent elements to the sorted portion of the array. If they are out of order with respect to each other, then swap them. Now, push the left element toward the right in the array so long as it is greater than the element to its right. And push the right element toward the left in the array so long as it is less than the element to its left. The algorithm begins by processing the middle two elements of the array if the array is even. If the array is odd, then skip processing the middle item and begin with processing the elements to its immediate left and right. Implement Double Insertion Sort, being careful to properly handle both when the array is odd and when it is even. Using java.
