| Question 6 |
Which one of the following is the tightest upper bound that represents the number of swaps required to sort n numbers using selection sort?
| O(log n) | |
| O(n) | |
| O(n log n) | |
| O(n2) |
Question 6 Explanation:
Best, Average and worst case will take maximum O(n) swaps.
Selection sort time complexity O(n2) in terms of number of comparisons. Each of these scans requires one swap for n-1 elements (the final element is already in place).
Selection sort time complexity O(n2) in terms of number of comparisons. Each of these scans requires one swap for n-1 elements (the final element is already in place).
