Difference btw bubble sort and selection sort

Question

Accepted Answer

Bubble sort repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. Selection sort selects the smallest element from the unsorted portion and swaps it with the first unsorted element.

Bubble sort has a time complexity of O(n^2) in worst case, while selection sort has a time complexity of O(n^2) in all cases.
Bubble sort is stable, meaning it preserves the relative order of equal elements, while selection sort is not stable.
Bubble sort is not adaptive, meaning it does not take advantage of existing order in the input, while selection sort is adaptive.
Example: Bubble sort - [5, 3, 8, 2, 1] -> [3, 5, 2, 1, 8] -> [3, 2, 1, 5, 8] -> [2, 1, 3, 5, 8] -> [1, 2, 3, 5, 8]
Example: Selection sort - [5, 3, 8, 2, 1] -> [1, 3, 8, 2, 5] -> [1, 2, 8, 3, 5] -> [1, 2, 3, 8, 5] -> [1, 2, 3, 5, 8]
