Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a list of 10 random integers. Implement and apply modified selection sort to sort them. Then analyze the efficiency based on the output list length.

💡 Hint: Think about how comparing each element results in systematic swaps.

Challenge 2 Hard

Critically compare the modified selection sort to quicksort and merge sort in terms of performance and use case.

💡 Hint: Identify specific use cases where each algorithm might be more effective.
