Selection sort(sorting algorithm in data structure) and its time complexity
The document discusses the selection sort algorithm, a straightforward sorting method that iteratively finds the smallest element in a list and places it in the correct position. It outlines the algorithm's steps, pseudo-code, and time complexity, demonstrating how the sorting process works through examples. Selection sort is employed to reorder a sequence of numbers efficiently.
SORTING Algorithm In computerscience, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. 2

SELECTION SORT Selectionsorting is conceptually the most simplest sorting algorithm. This algorithm first finds the smallest element in the array and exchanges it with the element in the first position, then find the second smallest element and exchange it with the element in the second position, and continues in this way until the entire array is sorted. Keep doing n-1 times to place all n values in the sorted order. 3
