Subject: Re: Beginner question: Bubble sort using array.each_index

Thank you for clearing that up.

The reason I google'd and used that algorithm is because Chris Pine 
states that we should try to alphabetize an array of user-input words, 
without using the sort method: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/?Chapter=07

Thus, I wrote:

word = 'word'
listOfWords = []

while word != ''
  puts 'Enter a word and press enter: '
  word = gets.chomp.downcase
  listOfWords.push word
end

listOfWords.pop


But became stuck at how I could alphabetize the array, using only the 
things we have learned so far.

If you have a better way I could accomplish this without using the 
previously described algorithm, I would very much appreciate it.   It's 
something I've been struggling with all night.
