Sorts an array of numbers, using the bubble sort algorithm.
- Declare a variable, `swapped`, that indicates if any values were swapped during the current iteration.
- Use the spread operator (`...`) to clone the original array, `arr`.
- Use a `for` loop to iterate over the elements of the cloned array, terminating before the last element.
- Use a nested `for` loop to iterate over the segment of the array between `0` and `i`, swapping any adjacent out of order elements and setting `swapped` to `true`.
- If `swapped` is `false` after an iteration, no more changes are needed, so the cloned array is returned.
```js
const bubbleSort = arr => {
let swapped = false;
const a = [...arr];
for (let i = 1; i < a.length; i++) {
swapped = false;
for (let j = 0; j < a.length - i; j++) {
if (a[j + 1] < a[j]) {
[a[j], a[j + 1]] = [a[j + 1], a[j]];
swapped = true;
}
}
if (!swapped) return a;
}
return a;
};
```
```js
bubbleSort([2, 1, 4, 3]); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
```
