Selection sort and Insertion sort

Aim:

To write a program to perform selection sort and insertion sort using python programming.

Equipment’s required:

1. Hardware – PCs
2. Anaconda – Python 3.7 Installation / Moodle-Code Runner

Algorithm:

Selection Sort Algorithm:

1. Set the first unsorted element as the minimum
2. For each of the unsorted elements, check if the element < current minimum.
3. If yes, set the element as the new minimum.
4. Swap minimum with first unsorted position.
5. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 for all the elements in the array.

Insertion Sort Algorithm:

1. Set the first element as sorted element j.
2. For each unsorted element X, check if current sorted element j >X.
3. If yes, move sorted element to the right by 1.
4. Break the loop and insert X.
5. Repeat the steps 2 to 4 for sorting all the elements in the array.

Program:

i) #Selection Sort

ii) #Insertion Sort

Output:

Result:

Thus the program is written to perform selection sort and insertion sort using python programming.
