Selection Sort Program in

In Selection sort, the smallest element is exchanged with the first element of the unsorted list of elements (the exchanged element takes the place where smallest element is initially placed). Then the second smallest element is exchanged with the second element of the unsorted list of elements and so on until all the elements are sorted. In the following C program we have implemented the same logic.
