Frog Puzzle Random To Custom

[Pedroski55]

Following your private message:

I think perhaps you are concentrating on a list with only 4 elements, but that is not helpful.

You need to be able to sort any list.

Try this way to bubble sort:

from random import randint

# Helper variables
moves = 0
# set q = True or the while loop will not start
q = True
# make a random list
# you can change the numbers here: randint(0, 20) and here: range(10)
frogs = [randint(0, 20) for i in range(10)]
print(f'Start situation frogs = {frogs}')
# the while loop will keep going until there is nothing to swap around
# then q = False and the while loop will stop
# don't set: while True because True is always True, the while loop will not stop
while q:
    q = False  # Reset q for this pass
    # keep looping through the list until there is nothing left to swap
    for i in range(1, len(frogs)):
        if frogs[i - 1] > frogs[i]:
            # Swap the elements
            frogs[i - 1], frogs[i] = frogs[i], frogs[i - 1]
            q = True  # Set q to True if a swap occurs
            moves +=1
        print (f'frogs = {frogs}, i = {i}, moves = {moves}')
