Define Bubble sort? 
Bubble sorting like a bubble. Highest weight number will move to top.

Array: [50,13,8,5,12]

Outer loop doing n - 1 times
Inside loop moves the highest number to top one by one. Next time has no need to test moved bubble numbers. So inside looping is n - i - 1.

Index Array
12

8
13
50
1st Move
50
12

2nd Move

4th Move

index of array is starts from down to top 50 moved to top as like bubble in water this move will not touch already moved 50 this move will not touch already moved 50,13 this move will not touch already moved 50,13, 12

Example Bubble sort in JAVA
public class BubbleSort {
    public static void display(int numbers[]){
        for (int i=0;i<numbers.length;i++){
               System.out.print(numbers[i]+"\t");
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
           int numbers[] = {48,34,5,12,8};
    
           for (int i=0;i<numbers.length-1;i++){
               for (int j=0;j<numbers.length-i-1;j++){
                   if (numbers[j] > numbers[j+1]){
                       int t = numbers[j+1];
                       numbers[j+1] = numbers[j];
                       numbers[j] = t;
                   }
               }
           }
           display(numbers);
    }
}
Looping style 
input array
[50,13,8,5,12]

i = 0; j:0 to n-i
[50,13,8,5,12]
[13,50,8,5,12]
[13,8,50,5,12]
[13,8,5,50,12]
[13,8,5,12,50]

i=1; j: 0 to n-i
[8,13,5,12,50]
[8,5,13,12,50]
[8,5,12,13,50]

i=2; j: 0 to n-i
[5,8,12,13,50]

i=3; j: 0 to n-i
[5,8,12,13,50]
