If you already have a list of objects, then bubble sort can beat insertion sort in terms of space, because it doesn't have to construct a second list. That's pretty much the only place left where bubble sort has any advantage, but when you need it, nothing else will do.
- jeltz 13y agoInsertion sort does swap elements in place so requires zero additional memory. It is like bubble sort but with better good cases and is as easy to implement. I recommend reading the Wikipedia article about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort
- Millennium 13y agoIt swaps elements in place in the list it builds, but it requires building another list. Bubble sort doesn't.
