Method explanation?

[gibsonguy]

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can help me decipher this method? I know it creates an empty array and while its empty push a value into it as long as that value equals the input? The second part - I think pushes values to the array and deletes the last value in it?

Thanks

[code

def explain_me(inputs)
my_array = []
while !inputs.empty?
value = inputs[0]
inputs.each do | input |
if input < value
value = input
end
end
my_array.push value
inputs.delete value
end
return my_array
end

/code]

Here is the description on the code

def explain_me(inputs)
  my_array = []
  while !inputs.empty? # while has any item on inputs array
    value = inputs[0] # put the first itom of inputs array into value variable
    inputs.each do | input | # this loop find the lowest value of inputs array
      if input < value
        value = input
      end
    end # now value is the lowest value of the inputs items
    my_array.push value # this lowest value is putting into my_array
      inputs.delete value # and deleted from input array
    end
    return my_array # return my array
end # def explain_me

Do you see?

Have a nice day.
