Bubble Sort
See it animated in Zerethon Tools ↗Repeatedly swap adjacent out-of-order pairs; stop early when a pass makes no swap — O(n²).
This is an older version. The current version is 1.2.0.

# Bubble Sort
Zerethon Official Sample `bubble-sort`, version 1.1.0, Java 25.
- `BubbleSort.java` — the algorithm, as shown in Zerethon Tools
- `Main.java` — entry file: a short demonstration
- `BubbleSortTest.java` — checks; set it as the entry file to run them
Every `.java` file is compiled together before the entry file's class runs.
This project is your own copy. Changing it never changes the official sample.
