This algorithm is written in Ruby, the goal of this algorithm is to practice some concepts while I was exploring in Ruby.
Important
I advise people to not use this algorithm in an production application
"Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the input list element by element, comparing the current element with the one after it, swapping their values if needed. These passes through the list are repeated until no swaps have to be performed during a pass, meaning that the list has become fully sorted. The algorithm, which is a comparison sort, is named for the way the larger elements "bubble" up to the top of the list."

Clone this repository to your local machine. To do this, click on the green "Code" button at the top right of list of files and copy the link in the prompt. Then, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone <link>
This will create a folder called 'bubble_sort' inside the directory you ran the command in.
CD into that folder:
cd bubble_sort
Now before beginning work on the exercises, you'll want to install a gem called RSpec. RSpec is a popular Ruby testing framework that is used in this repository to provide you with tests that check your solutions.
To install RSpec, run the following command in your terminal:
gem install rspec
You should see a message that says something along the lines of "6 gems installed" in your terminal. Verify that the installation was successful by simply running the following command:
rspec
There are two ways to try out this algorithm.
irb -r ./lib/bubble_sort.rb
From there on you can type directly the name of method in the bubble_sort file:
bubble_sort
The method is prepared to receive one input.
1 - An array of numbers
Check out the images below
Once within the bubble_sort cloned directory, you can type directly
rspec
It runs all unit tests prepared for the bubble_sort method.
Check out the image below
There is no support provide for this algorithm
