While bubble sort is a basic algorithm it also illustrates a difference in the way Icon handles types. The built-in operators for comparing data types make a syntactic distinction between numeric and string types. Consequently, when writing something like a bubble sort you must (a) write two versions, (b) have the sort figure it out dynamically as in this example. |

In practice this is unnecessary as there are built-in sort functions for basic data types and records. |
