Ruby - Arrays

Find the bug in this Ruby code:

arr = [10, 5, 8]
sorted = arr.sort.reverse!
p sorted

Ap sorted should be p arr

Breverse! cannot be called on the result of sort

Csort does not return a new array

Dreverse! modifies arr, not sorted

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand method chaining with reverse!
sort returns a new array, and reverse! modifies an array in place and returns it.
Step 2: Check if reverse! can be called on sort result
reverse! can be called on the new array, so no error here. The code works correctly.
Step 3: Identify the actual bug
There is no bug calling reverse! on sort result. The code works correctly.
Final Answer:
None of the options correctly describe a bug -> Option B (closest but no bug)
Quick Check:
reverse! can be called on sort result [OK]

Quick Trick: reverse! modifies array in place, can chain after sort [OK]
