I'm trying to understand the bubble sort algorithm. Could you please outline the 5 main steps of this sorting method for me?

Bubble Sort is a fundamental sorting algorithm that operates by repeatedly comparing adjacent elements in a list.

In the first step, it compares the first two elements and swaps them if they are in the incorrect order.

However, if swaps do occur, the algorithm iterates over all the elements once again, continuing the comparison and swap process until the entire list is sorted.

The algorithm then moves to the next pair of elements, repeating the comparison and swap process if necessary.

This process is continued across the entire list, with each pass ensuring that the largest (or smallest, depending on the sorting order) element "bubbles" to its correct position at the end of the list.
