Sorting: Bubble Sort


Problem Statement :


Consider the following version of Bubble Sort:

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    
    for (int j = 0; j < n - 1; j++) {
        // Swap adjacent elements if they are in decreasing order
        if (a[j] > a[j + 1]) {
            swap(a[j], a[j + 1]);
        }
    }
    
}
Given an array of integers, sort the array in ascending order using the Bubble Sort algorithm above. Once sorted, print the following three lines:

1. Array is sorted in numSwaps swaps., where numSwap  is the number of swaps that took place.
2. First Element: firstElement, where firstElement  is the first element in the sorted array.
3. Last Element: lastElement, where lastElement  is the last element in the sorted array.

Hint: To complete this challenge, you must add a variable that keeps a running tally of all swaps that occur during execution.

Example
a = [ 6, 1, 4 ]

swap    a       
0       [6,4,1]
1       [4,6,1]
2       [4,1,6]
3       [1,4,6]
The steps of the bubble sort are shown above. It took  swaps to sort the array. Output is:

Array is sorted in 3 swaps.  
First Element: 1  
Last Element: 6  
Function Description

Complete the function countSwaps in the editor below.

countSwaps has the following parameter(s):

int a[n]: an array of integers to sort
Prints

Print the three lines required, then return. No return value is expected.

Input Format

The first line contains an integer,n , the size of the array a.
The second line contains n space-separated integers a[ i ].

Constraints

2  <=  n   <=  600
1  <=   a[ i ]  <=  2* 10^6
