//| selection sort - array sorting algorithm                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|  best: n^2, average: n^2, worst: n^2                             |
//|  memory: 1, stable: no, method: selection                        |
//|  note: stable with o(n) extra space or when using linked lists.  |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|  in computer science, selection sort is an in-place comparison   |
//|sorting algorithm. it has an o(n2) time complexity, which makes   |
//|it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than  |
//|the similar insertion sort. selection sort is noted for its       |
//|simplicity and has performance advantages over more complicated   |
//|algorithms in certain situations, particularly where auxiliary    |
//|memory is limited.                                                |
//|  the time efficiency of selection sort is quadratic, so there    |
//|are a number of sorting techniques which have better time         |
//|complexity than selection sort. one thing which distinguishes     |
//|selection sort from other sorting algorithms is that it makes the |
//|minimum possible number of swaps, n − 1 in the worst case.        |
