Selection Sort

Here is the C implementation of Selection Sort for sorting 5 elements. You can replace 5 with the required size you wish to sort.

/*Selection Sort*/

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

{

int a[5],i,j,index,smallest;

clrscr();

/*Get*/

printf("Enter the numbers to be sorted:\n");

for(i=0;i<5;i++)

{

scanf("%d",&a[i]);

}

/*Sort*/

for(i=0;i<4;i++)

{

smallest=a[i];

index=i;

for(j=i+1;j<5;j++)

{

if(a[j]<smallest)

{

smallest=a[j];

index=j;

}

}

a[index]=a[i];

a[i]=smallest;

}

/*Print*/

printf("\nThe sorted numbers are:\n");

for(i=0;i<5;i++)

{

printf("%d\n",a[i]);

}

getch();

}
