Selection sort in C modified not working for all cases

0 votes

I was attempting to tweak the selection sort code in C++ in order to test the results. 

My updated code is as follows:

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int n;
    cout<<"Enter number of elements\n";
    cin>>n;
    int i,j,small,pos,t;
    int a[n];
    cout<<"Enter elements of array\n";
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        cin>>a[i];
    }
    for(i=0;i<n-1;i++)
    {
        small=a[i];
        pos=i;
        for(j=i+1;j<n;j++)
        {
            if(a[j]<small)
            {
                small=a[j];
                pos=j;
            }
            t=a[i];
            a[i]=a[pos];
            a[pos]=t;
        }
    }
    cout<<"Sorted array:\n";
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    cout<<a[i]<<" ";
    return 0;
}

This code is valid for certain arrays but not for others. 

As an example: 

When I input 1,11,2,22,3 as the array, I receive the correct result: 1,2,3,11,22. 

However, if I enter the array as 1,11,2,22,3,33, I receive the same array as the input as the result. 

Please let me know what's wrong with my code.

Cases of static and dynamic binding in C++

When an object's static type is used to associate it with a member function, this is known as static binding (understand the type of its class). When a pointer or reference is associated with a member function based on the dynamic type of the object, this is known as dynamic binding (understand the instance of the variable at runtime). Before continuing, keep in mind that dynamic binding only works with pointers, references, and virtual functions for the base class. Because everything needed to call the function is known at compile time, the first call is a static binding (also known as early binding). Derived1 d1(1, 10); d1.display_data(); You already know that the d1 instance is a Derived1 automatic variable, and that it will call the Derived1::display data method (). The first condition is incorrect: d1 is neither a pointer nor a reference. The second condition isn't acceptable:  There is no virtual Derived1::display data. The second call is for ...READ MORE

Is 'If Else' statement indentation important or not in C++? [duplicate]

White space has no effect on the understanding of code in C and C++.  That is not to say that the programmer should be unconcerned about its misuse. The easiest method to demonstrate what the above code truly represents is to specify all of the inferred braces directly, as seen below.  The 'if then' or 'otherwise' clause only affects one line of code in the if statement with no brackets. This is one of the reasons why people strive to insist on 'proper coding standards' to guarantee that other people can clearly grasp the programmer's flow and meaning. while(c != cols) { ...READ MORE
