 * Bubble sort is a kind of simple sort algorithm in computer science. It
 * repeatedly visit the sequence to be sorted, compare two elements each time,
 * swap them if their order is wrong, until no elements need to be swapped. The
 * bigger element will rise to top by swapping like bubble, so it names.
 * </p>
 *
 * The bubble sort algorithm designed as following:
 * <li>
 * 1. Compare the two adjacent elements as a pair, from the first pair to last
 * pair, swap the two if the first one is bigger than the second one. Then, the
 * last element must be the biggest, remove the biggest one from unordered
 * region.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * 2. Repeat step1 on the elements in the unordered region until no element pair
 * need to be compared.
 * </li>
 *
 * The time complexity of bubble sort is O(n^2).
 *
 * <p>
 * Stability: Bubble sort is swapping bigger element backward. Comparing is
 * comparing the adjacent two elements, swapping is also in the adjacent two
 * elements. So, if the two adjacent elements equal, you will not swap them. And
 * if the two equal elements are not adjacent, even though they are adjacent by
 * swapping the front other elements, you still will not swap them. The equal
 * elements order are not changed in sorting, so bubble sort is stable.
