I think I have an idea of what the difference between Step Into and Step Over is.
The confusion comes when comparing Step and Step Into. I couldn't find anything online about difference between both.
Is it related to the way the debugger treats async code?

I have always heard that usually merge sort is used for in built functions. But I cannot understand why. Quicksort is faster obviously with exact time complexity of 1.39NlogN and also it is in place! then why not quick sort?

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around a in-place quick sort. I understand it using sub-arrays, but in-place is really throwing me.
Having an example in Ruby would really help, but I haven been able to find one. Could some one provide me with an example or point me in the right direction?
Rather than trying to understand it in code, there's a number of very elegant explanations of the quicksort algorithm out there. Here are a few of my favorite illustrations which may help your understanding.

As for a Ruby example, the answers to this question cover that.

I am using libsvm python interface and wondering is there a way to get a confidence score/probability when using multi-classification
I'd recommend the scikit-learn wrapper of libSVM which incoroporates a predict_proba function and a score function http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.svm.SVC.html#sklearn.svm.SVC.
