Is the .each iterator in ruby guaranteed to give the same order on the same elements every time?

Question

I\'m doing something like this with a list \'a\':

a.each_with_index |outer, i|
  a.each_with_index |inner, j|
    if(j > i)
      # do some operation with

I've not looked at your actual code but here is your answer taken from the Ruby API docs:

Arrays are ordered, integer-indexed collections of any object.

So yes, you are being paranoid but surely that's a good thing when you're developing?
