CoffeeScript bubble sort with tests
# Do a destructive bubble sort.
# Call like this:
# [5, 3, 2, 8].bubbleSort()
Array::bubbleSort = ->
# We haven't made a swap yet.
madeSwap = no
# Go through the whole array.
# Swap if we need to make swaps, and make sure we mark madeSwap.
for i in [0..@length]
# Which values are we comparing?
here = this[i]
next = this[i + 1]
# Don't do anything if we're at the last element, though!
if next?
# If we should swap, do the swap and mark that we've done one.
if here > next
[this[i], this[i + 1]] = [next, here]
madeSwap = yes
# Okay, so we've done a pass.
# We should try again if we've made any swaps.
@bubbleSort() if madeSwap
# All done!
