const bubbleSort = (array) => {
const n = array.length;
for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < n - 1 - i; j++) {
if (array[j] > array[j + 1]) {
// Swap elements
let temp = array[j];
array[j] = array[j + 1];
array[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
return array;
}
const numbers = [5, 3, 8, 1, 2];
console.log(bubbleSort(numbers)); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 5, 8]
