Not really bubble-sort-specific; you can make any pair of loops into a single loop that way. for (set up initial conditions for both loops; check the outer loop termination condition; if the inner loop is done reset the inner loop and advance the outer loop, if the inner loop is not done advance the inner loop) { // do the inside of the loop }
