#This program shows an example of selection sort

#Selection sort iterates all the elements and if the smallest element in the list is found then that number

#is swapped with the first

#Best O(n^2); Average O(n^2); Worst O(n^2)

def selectionSort(List):

for i in range(len(List) - 1): #For iterating n - 1 times

minimum = i

for j in range( i + 1, len(List)): # Compare i and i + 1 element

if(List[j] < List[minimum]):

minimum = j

if(minimum != i):

List[i], List[minimum] = List[minimum], List[i]

return List
