The selection sort is a combination of searching and sorting. During each pass, the unsorted element with the smallest (or largest) value is moved to its proper position in the array. The number of times the sort passes through the array is one less than the number of items in the array. In the selection...

Effective Programming

Selection sort is a sorting algorithm. You can implement this algorithm in any language. The basic idea is to select the smallest element of the array and placing it to the head of array. This step needs to repeated for rest of array. Your first task is to find the smallest element location in the...

Selection sort is not part of Java. It is an algorithm. It can be implemented any language. In selection sort we will making two loops, one to select an element and other to check with other elements in the list. If the element is big then we will be swapping, untill all the elements are iterated

Hi, First of all selection sort is same in any programming language be it java, C or C++ etc. It has same logic but syntax of writing it will differ with language. Selection sort is one of the many sorting algorithms to sort unordered numbers stored in an array. In selection sort we repeatedly...

Hi, First of all selection sort is same in any programming language be it java, C or C++ etc. It has same logic but syntax of writing it will differ with language. Selection sort is one of the many sorting algorithms to sort unordered numbers stored in an array. In selection sort we repeatedly find the largest(or smallest) element in array and move it to its final position in the array. for example our array is A[ 63 75 90 12 27]. Here highest element is 90 whose index is A[2] and highest index is A[4]. so swap element A[2] with A[4] after which our array becomes A[63 75 27 12 90]. Here element 90 reached to its final position i.e. highest index. Same process is repeated unless our array is sorted completely. Hope it help. Thanks, Simpa read less

Selection sort will select the lowest element in each iteration and swap the values.If you go through the algorithm,you can understand how it works : You have an array int a = {29,64,73,34,20}; for(int i =0; i
