Bubble Sort - to VB.NET

Question

If I had the following pseudocode, would I need to add anything further onto it as mentioned below. Your help is much appreciated:

**repeat 
     swapped = false**

     for i from 1 <- N
            for j <- 0 to N - 1
               if a[j] > a[j + 1]
                  swap( a[j], a[j + 1] )
  **swapped = true
           end if**
         **end for
       until not swapped**

Are the lines I have ** REQUIRED to be in there? For example, if a question asked 'write in pseudocode for the bubble sort algorithm' would I be required to write it out fully (including the ** items) or without them is OK?

We are required to 'rope learn' the code and obviously the smaller the code the better and the easier it is to remember.

Thanks!

So... What exactly are you asking? Is the code not working the way you intend? — Ryan Bemrose, May 16 '16 at 07:51
@RyanBemrose Am I required to put ** in there? i.e the lines I have highlighted with **. — Alex, May 16 '16 at 07:52
Required by what? VB.NET? A particular dialect of pseoudocode? Who is your audience - a particular compiler, or other programmers? I'm pretty sure "pseudocode" isn't a real language, so you can basically do anything you want as far as its interpreter is concerned. — Ryan Bemrose, May 16 '16 at 07:54

Sub Main()
                Dim Numlist() As Integer = {23435, 1, 433, 5234}
    'here you can use any numbers in any order
        Dim Count As Integer = 0
                Dim Swapvalue As Integer
                For ii = 0 To Numlist.Length - 2
                    For i = 0 To Numlist.Length - 2
                        Count += 1
                        If Numlist(i) > Numlist(i + 1) Then
                            Swapvalue = Numlist(i)
                            Numlist(i) = Numlist(i + 1)
                            Numlist(i + 1) = Swapvalue
                        End If
                    Next
                Next
                Console.WriteLine("Number of comparisons: {0}", Count)
                For i = 0 To Numlist.Length - 1
                    Console.WriteLine(Numlist(i))
                Next
        End Sub
