Working of Selection Sort in C
In each pass, the minimum element is identified from the unsorted part of the array and placed at the beginning of the sorted part of the array. The sorted portion of the array gradually grows with each pass until the entire array becomes sorted.
Let’s take the example of the above array and see what happens in each pass using the below illustration.
The resultant array is the sorted array.

C Program for Selection Sort
The selection sort algorithm sorts an array by repeatedly finding the minimum element (considering ascending order) from the unsorted subarray and putting it at the beginning of the sorted subarray. In this article, we will learn to write a C program to implement selection sort.
