How to make a cycle counter?

Question

Python

What is the correct way to insert a loop counter in this code?

a = [8,1,7,4,3,9,2,5,6,10]
def bubble_sort(a):
    n = len(a)
    unordered = True
    while unordered:
        unordered = False
        for j in range(n - 1):
            if a[j] > a[j + 1]:
                a[j], a[j + 1] = a[j + 1], a[j]
                unordered = True
        n -= 1

Answer 1

It is possible like this:

a = [8,1,7,4,3,9,2,5,6,10]
def bubble_sort(a):
    n = len(a)
    unordered = True
    operations_count = 0
    while unordered:
        unordered = False
        operations_count += 1
        for j in range(n - 1):
            operations_count += 1
            if a[j] > a[j + 1]:
                a[j], a[j + 1] = a[j + 1], a[j]
                unordered = True
        n -= 1
    print(str(operations_count))
