Question

Sort a list containing names of students in ascending order using selection sort.

Answer 1

def selection_sort(DATA_LIST):

for i in range(0, len (DATA_LIST)):

min = i

for j in range(i + 1, len(DATA_LIST)):

if DATA_LIST[j] < DATA_LIST[min]:

min = j

swapping

temp= DATA_LIST[min]

DATA_LIST[min] = DATA_LIST[i]

DATA_LIST[i]=temp

print DATA_LIST

NAME_LIST = [‘Neena’,’Beeta’,’Reeta’,’Geeta’,’Seeta’]

print “LIST BEFORE SORTING”,NAME_LIST

selection_sort(NAME_LIST)

LIST BEFORE SORTING [‘Neena’,‘Beeta’,‘Reeta’, ‘Geeta’, ‘Seeta’]

[‘Beeta’, ‘Neena’, ‘Reeta’, ‘Geeta’, ‘Seeta’]-Pass 1

[‘Beeta’, ‘Geeta’, ‘Reeta’, ‘Neena’, ‘Seeta’]-Pass 2

[‘Beeta’, ‘Geeta’, ‘Neena’, ‘Reeta’, ‘Seeta’]-Pass 3

[‘Beeta’, ‘Geeta’, ‘Neena’, ‘Reeta’, ‘Seeta’]-Pass 4

[‘Beeta’, ‘Geeta’, ‘Neena’, ‘Reeta’, ‘Seeta’]-Pass 5
