/*The selection sort algorithm sorts an array by repeatedly finding the minimum element
*(considering ascending order) from unsorted part and putting it at the beginning. The
*algorithm maintains two subarrays in a given array.
*1) The subarray which is already sorted.
*2) Remaining subarray which is unsorted.
*
*In every iteration of selection sort, the minimum element (considering ascending order)
*from the unsorted subarray is picked and moved to the sorted subarray.
