This is a C++ program to sort the given data using Selection Sort.
1. Selection sort algorithm sort data by comparing one element to every other element and decide its position.
2. The time complexity of this algorithm is O(n^2).
1. Starting from the beginning pick one number.
2. Compare it with others one by one.
3. replace if the other number is lesser than this one.
4. Display the result.
5. Exit.
C++ program to implement Selection Sort.
This program is successfully run on Dev-C++ using TDM-GCC 4.9.2 MinGW compiler on a Windows system.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; // Sort arr[] of size n using Selection Sort. void SelectionSort (int arr[], int n) { int i, j; for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) { for (j = i+1; j < n; ++j) { // Comparing consecutive data and switching values if value at i > j. if (arr[i] > arr[j]) { arr[i] = arr[i]+arr[j]; arr[j] = arr[i]-arr[j]; arr[i] = arr[i]-arr[j]; } } // Value at i will be minimum of all the values above this index. } } int main() { int n, i; cout<<"\nEnter the number of data element to be sorted: "; cin>>n; int arr[n]; for(i = 0; i < n; i++) { cout<<"Enter element "<<i+1<<": "; cin>>arr[i]; } SelectionSort(arr, n); // Display the sorted data. cout<<"\nSorted Data "; for (i = 0; i < n; i++) cout<<"->"<<arr[i]; return 0; }
1. Take input of data.
2. Call SelectionSort() function with ‘arr’ the array of data and ‘n’ the number of values, in the argument list.
3. Implement Sorting algorithm using nested for loop.
4. The first loop will run on ‘i’ from 0 to n-1.
5. The second loop will run on ‘j’ from i+1 to n-1.
6. Compare value at i with value at j.
7. Switch the values if arr[j+1] < arr[j].
8. Return to main and display the result.
9. Exit.
