Program Plan Intro

Selection sort:

Selection sort is used to sort the group of data.

• Sorting is a process of placing the elements in order.
• Selection sort finds the smallest element in the array by comparing all the elements.
• The element values in the array are exchanged to place the smallest element in the first position.
• Continuously, it finds the next smallest element and exchanges it in the successive positions.
• The exchange process may place one or more elements in its permanent place.
