This process is repeated until the end of the array. If there are 100 values to sort, each pass through the list will take 99 comparisons – and you might have to repeat it 99 times. After the first ...

Because the linear search algorithm simply moves up the list and checks each item, the data in the list does not need to be in order. However, as the list gets longer the algorithm takes longer to run ...

In this article, we present the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms. We discuss the cycle counts of these algorithms on the Blackfin processor, and show how to reduce the cycle count of the bubble ...
