Given Input:

Enter 10 characters:
q w e r t y u i o p

Expected Output:

Enter 10 characters:
q w e r t y u i o p

Original Array:
q w e r t y u i o p
Sorted Array:
e i o p q r t u w y Press any key to continue . . .

Program:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BubbleSortCharacters {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        char[] arr = new char[10];

        // Accept 10 characters from the user
        System.out.println("Enter 10 characters:");
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            arr[i] = scanner.next().charAt(0);
        }

        // Store the original array for display
        char[] originalArr = arr.clone();

        // Bubble Sort Algorithm
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < arr.length - 1 - i; j++) {
                if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1]) {
                    // Swap elements
                    char temp = arr[j];
                    arr[j] = arr[j + 1];
                    arr[j + 1] = temp;
                }
            }
        }

        // Display Original and Sorted Arrays
        System.out.println("\nOriginal Array:");
        for (char ch : originalArr) {
            System.out.print(ch + " ");
        }

        System.out.println("\nSorted Array:");
        for (char ch : arr) {
            System.out.print(ch + " ");
        }

        scanner.close();
    }
}
