Bidirectional bubble sort

Bidirectional bubble sort, also known as cocktail sort, shaker sort or cocktail shaker sort, is a variation of the bubble sort algorithm that works by repeatedly iterating through a list of elements in both directions, swapping adjacent elements that are in the wrong order.

The algorithm starts by comparing adjacent elements in the list from left to right, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. Then, it compares adjacent elements from right to left, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. This process is repeated until the list is fully sorted.

The main advantage of the bidirectional bubble sort over the traditional bubble sort is that it can sort a list in both directions, which means it can handle certain types of input that might cause traditional bubble sort to perform poorly, such as lists that are mostly sorted but have a few unsorted elements in the middle.

However, the worst-case time complexity of the bidirectional bubble sort algorithm is still O(n^2), just like the traditional bubble sort, which means that it can become very slow for large input sizes. Therefore, it is not commonly used in practical applications, and more efficient sorting algorithms like quicksort or merge sort are preferred.

Here given code implementation process.

// C Program
// Bidirectional bubble sort
#include <stdio.h>

//Display elements of given sequence
void display(int sequence[], int size)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
	{
		printf("  %d", sequence[i]);
	}
	printf("\n");
}
// Swap array elements by given location
void swap(int sequence[], int a, int b)
{
	int temp = sequence[a];
	sequence[a] = sequence[b];
	sequence[b] = temp;
}
// Implementation of bidirectional bubble sort
void bubbleSort(int sequence[], int size)
{
	// Get first location of sequence
	int left = 0;
	// Get the last location of sequence
	int right = size - 1;
	int position = 0;
	while (left < right)
	{
		for (position = left; position < right; ++position)
		{
			if (sequence[position] > sequence[position + 1])
			{
				//Swap element
				swap(sequence, position, position + 1);
			}
		}
		// Reduce higher position
		right--;
		for (position = right; position > left; --position)
		{
			if (sequence[position] < sequence[position - 1])
			{
				swap(sequence, position, position - 1);
			}
		}
		// Increase lower position
		left++;
	}
}
int main()
{
	// Given input arrays
	int s1[] = {
		6 , 2 , 8 , 5 , 2 , 4 , 1 , 17 , 21 , 12 , 1 , 2 , 9
	};
	int s2[] = {
		7 , 2 , 5 , 0 , 9 , 1 , 0 , 3 , 6 , 2 , 7 , 3 , 1
	};
	// Test case A
	int size = sizeof(s1) / sizeof(s1[0]);
	printf(" Before Sort \n");
	display(s1, size);
	printf(" After Sort\n");
	bubbleSort(s1, size);
	display(s1, size);
	// Test case B
	size = sizeof(s2) / sizeof(s2[0]);
	printf("\n Before Sort \n");
	display(s2, size);
	bubbleSort(s2, size);
