Why use boolean for control of bubbleSort?

I am trying to understand why bubbleSort needs boolean swapped needed to be changed at end of both loops? After commenting out boolean swapped I saw that print statements run without putting inputs in bubbleSort order. I am trying to understand why boolean swapped is needed and why it is set before first loop then changed after first loop.

Its difficult answer you without code but yes... In "normal" implementation of bubble sort there is a guard for check if in current iteration swap its happened and then break the loop

It appears that the boolean swapped does terminate the loop; there is no reason to continue loop by control i < len-1; if the swapped boolean remains false by the end of any iteration of the bubbleSort for loop.
