Detailed Description

Implementation of the Selection sort implementation using recursion.

The selection sort algorithm divides the input list into two parts: a sorted sublist of items which is built up from left to right at the front (left) of the list, and a sublist of the remaining unsorted items that occupy the rest of the list. Initially, the sorted sublist is empty, and the unsorted sublist is the entire input list. The algorithm proceeds by finding the smallest (or largest, depending on the sorting order) element in the unsorted sublist, exchanging (swapping) it with the leftmost unsorted element (putting it in sorted order), and moving the sublist boundaries one element to the right.

Implementation

FindMinIndex This function finds the minimum element of the array(list) recursively by simply comparing the minimum element of array reduced size by 1 and compares it to the last element of the array to find the minimum of the whole array.

SelectionSortRecursive Just like selection sort, it divides the list into two parts (i.e.: sorted and unsorted) and finds the minimum of the unsorted array. By calling the FindMinIndex function, it swaps the minimum element with the first element of the list, and then solves recursively for the remaining unsorted list.

findMinIndex()

template<typename T >

uint64_t sorting::selection_sort_recursive::findMinIndex	(	const std::vector< T > &	in_arr,
		uint64_t	current_position = 0 )

The main function finds the index of the minimum element.

Template Parameters

T	type of array

Parameters

in_arr	array whose minimum element is to be returned
current_position	position/index from where the in_arr starts

Returns

index of the minimum element

                                                     {
    if (current_position + 1 == in_arr.size()) {
        return current_position;
    }
    uint64_t answer = findMinIndex(in_arr, current_position + 1);
    if (in_arr[current_position] < in_arr[answer]) {
        answer = current_position;
    }
    return answer;
}
