Python Method Not Returning

With a break from web codes I have decided to try Python again. I have used the return keyword but nothing is returning, I even tried print, although it printed the original array not the sorted version. Can someone help fix this? Both BubbleSort and return aren't working def BubbleSort(arr): sorted = False while sorted != sorted: sorted = True for i in range(len(arr)-1): if arr[i] > arr[i + 1]: sorted = False arr[i], arr[i + 1] = arr[i + 1], arr[i] print(arr) arr1 = [83, 5, 382, 8] BubbleSort(arr1)

I implemented your code (i think) And it works https://code.sololearn.com/cpKwpXUrEfk2/?ref=app

Thanks, although I would rather learn the technical side of things, I have never made a working sorting algorithm before. Thanks anyway

Mmh your while condition is always false sorted != sorted can't ever be true, so you're stuck in an infinite loop To correct : while sorted != True (or while Not sorted)

You are not stuck in an infinite loop. While only evaluates if the condition is true, which is not

Your function doesn't return anything. If so, you would use the return keyword

Loeschzwerg indeed ! I made a mistake there, the condition is never true, so the whole while-block is skipped !
