Abstract

Bubble Sort is one of the most classical algorithms in computer science which is our major field. In the video, we demo the algorithm in an energetic way with some space hoppers. Each actor is responsible for one space hopper which is corresponding to a sorting number. The original arrange (left to right) of the numbers is: 3 2 1 4 5. We aim to sort them from small to large (1 2 3 4 5) using the Bubble Sort algorithm. Each space hopper is compared with its neighbouring one and two-round traverses are included in the video. In addition, the actors own the relatively high number jump higher than their low neighbours.
