simple sorting algorithms with ruby

this is a small practice for implementing simple sorting algorithms using ruby, i grabed the Pseudocode from their respective wikipedia pages and converted them to ruby, one new thing i have learned from this simple practice is swapping arrays elements in single line of code.

class Array
  # Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds 
  # the final sorted array (or list) one item at a time. 
  # It is much less efficient on large lists than more advanced 
  # algorithms such as quicksort, heapsort, or merge sort.

    (1...size).each do |i|
      j = i
      while j > 0 and self[j-1] > self[j]
          self[j], self[j-1] = self[j-1], self[j]
          j = j - 1
      end
    end

  end

  # selection sort is a sorting algorithm, specifically an in-place 
  # comparison sort. It has O(n2) time complexity, making it 
  # inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse 
  # than the similar insertion sort. Selection sort is noted for 
  # its simplicity, and it has performance advantages over more 
  # complicated algorithms in certain situations, 
  # particularly where auxiliary memory is limited.

  def selection_sort!

    (0...size).each do |j|
      # find index of minimum element in the unsorted part 
      iMin = j
      (j+1...size).each do |i|
        iMin = i if self[i] < self[iMin]
      end

      # then swap it
      self[j], self[iMin] = self[iMin], self[j]
    end
  end

# lets try our algorithms
