Program: Implement selection sort in java.
The selection sort is a combination of searching and sorting. During each pass, the unsorted element with the smallest
(or largest) value is moved to its proper position in the array. The number of times the sort passes through the array is one less
than the number of items in the array. In the selection sort, the inner loop finds the next smallest (or largest) value and the outer
loop places that value into its proper location.
Selection sort is not difficult to analyze compared to other sorting algorithms since none of the loops depend on the data
in the array. Selecting the lowest element requires scanning all n elements (this takesn − 1 comparisons) and then swapping it into the
first position. Finding the next lowest element requires scanning the remaining n − 1 elements and so on,
for (n − 1) + (n − 2) + ... + 2 + 1 = n(n − 1) / 2 ∈ Θ(n2) comparisons. Each of these scans requires one swap for n − 1 elements.
package com.java2novice.algos;
public class MySelectionSort {
public static int[] doSelectionSort(int[] arr){
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++)
{
int index = i;
for (int j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++)
if (arr[j] < arr[index])
index = j;
int smallerNumber = arr[index];
arr[index] = arr[i];
arr[i] = smallerNumber;
}
return arr;
}
public static void main(String a[]){
int[] arr1 = {10,34,2,56,7,67,88,42};
int[] arr2 = doSelectionSort(arr1);
for(int i:arr2){
System.out.print(i);
System.out.print(", ");
}
}
}

Difference between while and do-while
The while statement verifies the condition before entering into the loop to see whether the next loop iteration should occur or not. The do-while statement executes the first iteration without checking the condition, it verifies the condition after finishing each iteration. The do-while statement will always execute the body of a loop at least once.
