Question

Here is an array of 10 integers. 5 3 8 1 7 0 2 6 4. Draw this array after the first iteration of the large loop in a selection sort (Sorting from smallest to largest)

Answer 1

The first array element and the last of the array elements that are smaller than the first one will be swapped at the first iteration of the large loop in a selection sort (sorting from smallest to largest). Thus, the first array element (5) and the last one (4) will be swapped. The new array will be 4 3 8 1 7 0 2 6 5.
