Sorting question

def sort(A): count=0 for i in range(len(A)): for j in range(i): if A[j]>A[j+1]: temp=A[j] A[j]=A[j+1] A[j+1]=A[j] A[j+1]=temp count+=1 break if count==0: print("yes") else: ("no") A=[3,2,1,4] sort(A) print(A) if count==0: print("yes") else: ("no") Question is i want to sort the given number but first i want to check elements are sorted or not if not then swap but the elements but swap only 1 time if elements taking 2 or more swaps then simply print no. I share my code but my code is giving me error on count is not defined i don't why.

count is a local variable of your function.

Akash Gupta , my goal was only to show you how to eliminate the error with the variable count. The other part of your question I do not understand yet at all.

Akash Gupta There is an error in your bubble sort implementation. It fails on completely reversed list. Also, you can do in place swapping, no need for a temp variable. Also, why not just print the count and the check from inside the function? No need for globals and additional print statements. Korkunç TheTerrible , the reason for the nested for loop is that the process have to go over the list multiple times.

JaScript def sort(A): global count count = 0 for i in range(len(A)): for j in range(i): if A[j]>A[j+1]: temp=A[j] A[j]=A[j+1] A[j+1]=A[j] A[j+1]=temp count+=1 break if count==1: print("yes") else: ("no") A=[3,1,2,4] print(A) sort(A) print(count) print("no") Actually I don't remember to remove if statement after i call the function now that's the actual code you want to swap only 1 time if elements takes 2 or more than print no if it taking 1 swap than print yes

The print() in the else-part in the function is missing?

Lisa Hi, Lisa. Can you help me understand why the second loop with j needs to be introduced in this code? Looking at it, I thought list had items that were lists themselves (is it called an array?). Then looking down I saw that A was a list. Why is this not coded as [A]i but instead as [A]j?
