Selection Sort

Basically in this technique we take minimum element from entire array & swap it with the 1st element. After this we take minimum from entire array excluding 1st element & swap that minimum element & element at 2nd position & continue so on.

 

 

 

 

ALGORITHM :

 

1234567FOR i = 1 TO N - 1 DO
    min = i
    FOR j = i + 1 TO N DO
      IF A[j] < A[min] THEN
         min = j
    SWAP(A[min], A[i])
