Ruby Array Sort

Let us see an example.
Ruby array sort. This means that the original array will change instead of creating a new one which can be good for performance. Returns a new array. Ruby sort arrays use the sort method. An array of sorted elements.
Ruby arrays are not as rigid as arrays in other languages. Notice that sort will return a new array with the results. You can also pass it an optional block if you want to do some custom sorting. The block receives two parameters for you to specify how they should be compared.
The ruby sort method works by comparing elements of a collection using their operator more about that in a second using the quicksort algorithm. You can also convert an array to a string transform one array of data into another and roll up an array into a single value. Sort with blocks sort in descending order and sort in place. It s also possible to sort in place using the sort.
In the first form if no arguments are sent the new array will be empty. A negative index is assumed relative to the end of the array that is an index of 1 indicates the last element of the array 2 is the next to last element in the array and so on. The second form creates a copy of the array passed as a parameter the array is generated by calling to ary on the parameter. Once you have data in an array you can sort it remove duplicates reverse its order extract sections of the array or search through arrays for specific data.
