Sorting algorithms/Bubble sort

Sorting algorithms/Bubble sort
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

In this task, the goal is to sort an array of elements using the bubble sort algorithm. The elements must have a total order and the index of the array can be of any discrete type. For languages where this is not possible, sort an array of integers.

Ada

Compiler: GCC 4.1.2

generic
 type Element is private;
 with function "<" (E1, E2 : Element) return Boolean is <>;
 type Index is (<>);
 type Arr is array (Index range <>) of Element;
procedure Bubble_Sort (A : in out Arr);

procedure Bubble_Sort (A : in out Arr) is
 Finished : Boolean;
 Temp     : Element;
begin
 loop
  Finished := True;
  for J in A'First .. Index'Pred (A'Last) loop
   if A (Index'Succ (J)) < A (J) then
    Finished := False;
    Temp := A (Index'Succ (J));
    A (Index'Succ (J)) := A (J);
    A (J) := Temp;
   end if;
  end loop;
  exit when Finished;
 end loop;
end Bubble_Sort;

--  Example of usage:
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Bubble_Sort;
procedure Main is
 type Arr is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
 procedure Sort is new
  Bubble_Sort
   (Element => Integer,
    Index   => Positive,
    Arr     => Arr);
 A : Arr := (1, 3, 256, 0, 3, 4, -1);
begin
 Sort (A);
 for J in A'Range loop
  Put (Integer'Image (A (J)));
 end loop;
 New_Line;
end Main;

Perl

Interpreter: perl 5.8.8

 # Sorts an array in place and returns a copy
 sub bubble_sort (@) {
     my $len = @_ - 1;
     for my $i (0..$len-1){
         for my $j ($i+1..$len){
             @_[$i,$j] = @_[$j,$i] if $_[$j] lt $_[$i];
         }
     }
     return @_;
 }

 # Usage
 @a = qw/G F C A B E D/; 
 bubble_sort(@a);

Alternate "Long Hand" Perl Method

  sub Bubble_Sort {
     my @list = @_;
     my $temp = 0;
     my $done = 0;
     my $elements = $#list + 1;
  
     while ($done == 0) {
        $done = 1;
        for (my $i=0;$i<$elements;$i++) {
           if ($list[$i] > $list[$i+1] && ($i + 1) < $elements) {
              $done = 0;
              $temp = $list[$i];
              $list[$i] = $list[$i+1];
              $list[$i+1] = $temp;
           }
        }
     }
  
     return @list;
  }

  #usage
  my @test = (1, 3, 256, 0, 3, 4, -1);
  print join(",",Bubble_Sort(@test));

Note: Of course, there's no need to implement bubble sort in Perl as it has sort built-in.

Ruby

Sorting can be done with the sort method

new_array = [3, 78, 4, 23, 6, 8, 6].sort
#=> [3, 4, 6, 6, 8, 23, 78]
# Sort on arbitrary criteria:
new_array = [3, 78, 4, 23, 6, 8, 6].sort {|a,b| a % 2 <=> b}
#=> [3, 78, 8, 4, 6, 23, 6]

This sort is actually a C quicksort.
