Bubble Sort
Bubble sort is a comparison?-based algorithm that compares each pair of elements in an array and swaps them if they are out of order until the entire array is sorted.

Challenge
#1 Write a Python program to sort a list of elements using the bubble sort algorithm
#2 Comment each line of the python solution below to show your understanding of the algorithm
Try it yourself
Solution
def bubbleSort(nlist):
for passnum in range(len(nlist)-1,0,-1):
for i in range(passnum):
if nlist[i]>nlist[i+1]:
temp = nlist[i]
nlist[i] = nlist[i+1]
nlist[i+1] = temp
nlist = [14,46,43,27,57,41,45,21,70]
bubbleSort(nlist)
print(nlist)
