Sorting algorithms/Selection sort
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Sorting Algorithm
This is a sorting algorithm. It may be applied to a set of data in order to sort it.
For comparing various sorts, see compare sorts.
For other sorting algorithms, see sorting algorithms, or:

- Task
Sort an array (or list) of elements using the Selection sort algorithm.
It works as follows:
First find the smallest element in the array and exchange it with the element in the first position, then find the second smallest element and exchange it with the element in the second position, and continue in this way until the entire array is sorted.
Its asymptotic complexity is O(n2) making it inefficient on large arrays.
Its primary purpose is for when writing data is very expensive (slow) when compared to reading, eg. writing to flash memory or EEPROM.
No other sorting algorithm has less data movement.

F selection_sort(&lst)
L(e) lst
V mn = min(L.index .< lst.len, key' x -> @lst[x])
(lst[L.index], lst[mn]) = (lst[mn], e)
V arr = [7, 6, 5, 9, 8, 4, 3, 1, 2, 0]
selection_sort(&arr)
print(arr)
- Output:
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

The program uses ASM structured macros and two ASSIST macros to keep the code as short as possible.

This is a generic implementation that works with any type that implements the IComparable interface
class SelectionSort<T> where T : IComparable {
public T[] Sort(T[] list) {
int k;
T temp;
for (int i = 0; i < list.Length; i++) {
k = i;
for (int j=i + 1; j < list.Length; j++) {
if (list[j].CompareTo(list[k]) < 0) {
k = j;
}
}
temp = list[i];
list[i] = list[k];
list[k] = temp;
}
return list;
}
}
Example of usage:
String[] str = { "this", "is", "a", "test", "of", "generic", "selection", "sort" };
SelectionSort<String> mySort = new SelectionSort<string>();
String[] result = mySort.Sort(str);
for (int i = 0; i < result.Length; i++) {
Console.WriteLine(result[i]);

Note: This example relies on the supporting procedures 'sortop', and 'demosort' in Bubble Sort. The full demosort exercises the named sort of a list with op = "numeric", "string", ">>" (lexically gt, descending),">" (numerically gt, descending), a custom comparator, and also a string.

Java
This algorithm sorts in place. The call sort(array) will rearrange the array and not create a new one.
public static void sort(int[] nums){
for(int currentPlace = 0;currentPlace<nums.length-1;currentPlace++){
int smallest = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int smallestAt = currentPlace+1;
for(int check = currentPlace; check<nums.length;check++){
if(nums[check]<smallest){
smallestAt = check;
smallest = nums[check];
}
}
int temp = nums[currentPlace];
nums[currentPlace] = nums[smallestAt];
nums[smallestAt] = temp;
}
}
JavaScript
This algorithm sorts array of numbers.
function selectionSort(nums) {
var len = nums.length;
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
var minAt = i;
for(var j = i + 1; j < len; j++) {
if(nums[j] < nums[minAt])
minAt = j;
}
if(minAt != i) {
var temp = nums[i];
nums[i] = nums[minAt];
nums[minAt] = temp;
}
}
return nums;
}
jq
The following implementation does not impose any restrictions on the types of entities that may appear in the array to be sorted. That is, the array may include any collection of JSON entities.
The definition also illustrates the use of an inner function (swap), and the use of jq's reduction operator, reduce.
# Sort any array
def selection_sort:
def swap(i;j): if i == j then . else .[i] as $tmp | .[i] = .[j] | .[j] = $tmp end;
length as $length
| reduce range(0; $length) as $currentPlace
# state: $array
( .;
. as $array
| (reduce range( $currentPlace; $length) as $check
# state: [ smallestAt, smallest] except initially [null]
( [$currentPlace+1] ;
if length == 1 or $array[$check] < .[1]
then [$check, $array[$check] ]
else .
end
)) as $ans
| swap( $currentPlace; $ans[0] )
) ;
Example:
[1, 3.3, null, 2, null, [1,{"a":1 }] ] | selection_sort
- Output:
[ null, null, 1, 2, 3.3, [ 1, { "a": 1 } ] ]

Recursive solution using a pre-existing Min[] function:
SelectSort2[x_List]:= Flatten[{Min@x, If[Length@x > 1, SelectSort2@Drop[x, First@Position[x, Min@x]], {}] }];
Validate by testing the ordering of a random number of randomly-sized random lists:

Ursala
The selection_sort function is parameterized by a relational predicate p. There are no arrays in Ursala so it uses a list, and the selected item is deleted from the list and inserted into another on each iteration rather than swapped with a preceding item of the same list.
#import std
selection_sort "p" = @iNX ~&l->rx ^(gldif ==,~&r)^/~&l ^|C/"p"$- ~&
This is already a bad way to code a sorting algorithm in this language, but with only a bit more work, we can get a bigger and slower version that more closely simulates the operations of repeatedly reordering an array.
selection_sort "p" = ~&itB^?a\~&a ^|JahPfatPRC/~& ~=-~BrhPltPClhPrtPCTlrTQrS^D/"p"$- ~&
Here is a test program sorting by the partial order relation on natural numbers.
#import nat
#cast %nL
example = selection_sort(nleq) <294,263,240,473,596,392,621,348,220,815>

var array = [ [4, 65, 2, -31, 0, 99, 2, 83, 782, 1], [7, 5, 2, 6, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3] ]
for (a in array) {
System.print("Before: %(a)")
selectionSort.call(a)
System.print("After : %(a)")
System.print()
}
- Output:
Before: [4, 65, 2, -31, 0, 99, 2, 83, 782, 1] After : [-31, 0, 1, 2, 2, 4, 65, 83, 99, 782] Before: [7, 5, 2, 6, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3] After : [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7]
Alternatively we can just call a library method.
import "./sort" for Sort
var array = [ [4, 65, 2, -31, 0, 99, 2, 83, 782, 1], [7, 5, 2, 6, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3] ]
for (a in array) {
System.print("Before: %(a)")
Sort.selection(a)
System.print("After : %(a)")
System.print()
}
- Output:
As above.
