How do bubble sort and quick sort algorithms work?

Can you explain how bubble sort works?

Sure! Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. This process is repeated until the list is sorted.

How does quick sort differ from bubble sort?

Quick sort is more efficient than bubble sort. It works by selecting a 'pivot' element and partitioning the array into two sub-arrays: elements less than the pivot and elements greater than the pivot. It then recursively sorts the sub-arrays.

Can you visualize both sorting algorithms for me?

Absolutely! For bubble sort, imagine a series of bubbles rising to the surface, where larger bubbles move to the right. For quick sort, picture a tree structure where each pivot divides the array into smaller parts.

Which one is faster for large datasets?

Quick sort is generally faster for large datasets due to its divide-and-conquer approach, while bubble sort is less efficient and not suitable for large lists.
