Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Develop a program to implement selection sort both iteratively and recursively. Execute the algorithm on an array of your choice and print the sorted output.

💡 Hint: Start with the iterative version, then adapt it for recursion.

Question 2

Given a large dataset, discuss when it would be more beneficial to use selection sort in practice despite its O(n²) complexity.

💡 Hint: Think of scenarios involving specific types of data or logistical constraints.
