Java - Selection Sort Algorithm

Question

I have some questions about selection sort.I\'m a little bit confused.

 int [] arr = {5,4,3,2,1}; // This is my array
    int min = 0;

    for(int i = 0;i&l         


        

Answer 1

Selection sort is a sorting algorithm in which the smallest element is picked from an unsorted array and moved to the beginning of the array. In your case first find min value index from second for loop and swap outside on that loop.

private static void selectionSort(int[] arr) {

        int n = arr.length;
        for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
            int min = i;
            for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
                if (arr[j] < arr[min]) {
                    min = j;
                }
            }
            if (min != i) {
                int temp = arr[i];
                arr[i] = arr[min];
                arr[min] = temp;
            }
        }
    }
