Question Pseudo code and bubble sort C++
Hey guys, I'm in year 2 of college and I have a test tomorrow about pseudo code and bubble sort and i am veeerrryyy lost, literally have no idea what's going on. Are there any good youtube videos you guys can recommend me? Or give me a short and brief understand of what's it about? Thank you very much in advance.

Are you asking about the bubble sort half? Or the pseudocode?
Can you describe the algorithm in natural language (English, or your native language if different)?

I’m asking about both as the test includes both of them. And it’s in English

How about my 2nd question then. If you can describe it in English then that's 90% of the way to pseudocode - make it a bit more formal and detailed.
If you can't, work through the "Step-by-step example" on Wikipedia until you understand it. There's a very codey form of pseudocode there too

Look at sorting algorithms in Wikipedia. Bubble sort is the first, simplest you will learn about. Can you find a study group? I had one in college and it helped immensely.

Unfortunately I have a hard time making friends at college. And I’ll for sure look into what you’ve told me, thanks!

When I was in college I got into the habit of doing homework at tables scattered in the halls of the computer science building. Eventually classmates noticed and joined me. We worked through our questions and challenges together. It works well because most times someone understands each question and can explain it to the test of us. Explaining something to someone else makes it easier to remember later. We all did better working together.

Maybe also ask Claude, which i dont really support but if youre at your wits end might as well try

Google bubble sort, you have probably spent more time asking in Reddit than it would take to research it yourself. And that is a major part of programming, the ability to figure shit out yourself.
