Q. Write a program to sort an array elements in ascending order using Selection Sort.



Selection Sort :- The selection Sort is basically the selection of the position of the element from the beginning with the other elements. Elements are compared and exchanged based on position and then the selection position is moved to the next position until it reaches the end.

Ascending Order :- Numbers are said to be in ascending order when they are arranged from smallest to largest number. Such as 5, 9, 13, 17 and 21 are arranged in ascending order.

Selection Sort Algorithm

START
Step 1 : Set MIN to location 0
Step 2 : Search the minimum element in the list
Step 3 : Swap with value at location MIN
Step 4 : Increment MIN to point to next element
Step 5 : Repeat until list is sorted
STOP
