How it works:
Selection Sort is a sorting algorithm that works by repeatedly selecting the smallest (or largest) element from the unsorted list and moving it to the beginning (or end) of the unsorted list.
Example Sock Collection:
Red Sock 1
Size: 8
Condition: New
Blue Sock 2
Size: 9
Condition: Used
Green Sock 3
Size: 7
Condition: New
Step-by-Step Sock Sorting:
- 1. Find the smallest sock in the collection.
- 2. Move it to the front of the collection.
- 3. Repeat until the collection is sorted.
Why it's better than other sorting algorithms:
Selection Sort is simple, intuitive, and doesn't require any fancy algorithms or data structures. It's like sorting socks, but for your brain!
