Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can trace code for a sorting algorithm to identify factors which may impact efficiency.

Show transcript
Code for sorting algorithms can be analysed by how efficient the algorithm is. A trace table can be used to analyse an algorithm. Bubble sort compares elements next to each other in the list and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. A more efficient version of bubble sort uses a variable to flag when a swap was made during a single pass.
