Selection Sort in Java

Algorithm

  1.   Start
  2. a[]=null
  3. i:=0
  4. n:=0
  5. j:=0
  6. small:=0
  7. Print "Enter the size of the array"
  8. Read n
  9. a=new int[n]
  10. i=0
  11. If i<n, go to step 12 or else go to step 15
  12. Print "Enter a number"
  13. Read a[i]
  14. i++. Go to step 11
  15. i=0
  16. If i<n, go to step 17 or else go to step 26
  17. small=a[i]
  18. j=i
  19. If j<n, go to step 20 or else go to step 24
  20. If small>a[j], go to step 21 or else go to step 23
  21. small=a[j]
  22. a[j]=a[i]
  23. j++. Go to step 19
  24. a[i]=small
  25. i++. Go to step 16
  26. i=0
  27. If i<n, go to step 28 or else go to step 30
  28. Print a[i]
  29. i++. Go to step 27
  30. Stop
