Since I posted on how to create a bubble sort in Cobol I thought I’d follow with another language. Below is an example of a Bubble Sort algorithm implemented in x86 Assembly language:
section .data
array db 85, 36, 95, 29, 12, 55, 42, 68, 25, 80
arraySize equ 10
section .text
global _start
_start:
; Outer loop: loop through the array elements
mov ecx, arraySize
outerLoop:
; Reset the index for the inner loop
mov ebx, 0
innerLoop:
; Compare the current element with the next element
mov al, [array + ebx]
cmp al, [array + ebx + 1]
jle noSwap ; Jump if the current element <= next element
; Swap the elements
xchg al, [array + ebx + 1]
mov [array + ebx], al
noSwap:
; Increment the inner loop index
inc ebx
cmp ebx, ecx
jl innerLoop ; Jump if inner loop index < arraySize
; Decrement the outer loop counter
dec ecx
jnz outerLoop ; Jump if outer loop counter != 0
; Done sorting, exit the program
mov eax, 1 ; syscall number for exit
xor ebx, ebx ; exit code 0
int 0x80 ; invoke syscall
section .bss
; No need for any variables in the BSS section for this example
Please note that this example uses x86 Assembly language syntax for Linux. If you intend to use this code in a different environment, you may need to adjust the system calls and assembly syntax accordingly. The provided code demonstrates a simple Bubble Sort algorithm for an array of 10 elements. You can modify the array and arraySize variables to work with different datasets.
