A bubble sort is one of the simplest sorts to write. The idea behind a bubble sort is to start at the beginning of the array and swap adjacent elements that are not in order. Repeat this n-1 times where n is the size of the array and the array will be sorted.

void bubble(int array[],int sz){
    int i,j;
    int tmp;
    for(i=0;i<sz-1;i++){
        for(j=0;j<sz-i-1;j++){
            if(array[j] > array[j+1]){
                //swap arr[j] and arr[j+1]
                tmp=array[j];
                array[j]=array[j+1];
                array[j+1]=tmp;
            }
        }
    }
}
