Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Implement Selection Sort in Python and test it with an unsorted array of random numbers.

💡 Hint: Remember to iterate through the list multiple times, finding and swapping the minimum.

Question 2

Given a list of integers sorted in descending order, apply Selection Sort and note the performance. What do you observe?

💡 Hint: Consider how looking for the minimum is different in a list that's already sorted.
