    Selection Sort

    I seriously need help with writing a program to do selection sort as a indirect sort. Read in 25 names and print them out with a heading, sort indirectly and print sorted list with heading. If you can assist me with this it would very appreciated. Thank You.

    Look at the array
    4 3 4 2 1 2 4 5 6 7
    All you need to do is find the smallest value of
    3 4 2 1 2 4 5 6 7 and then swap that with 4
    Then find the smallest value of 4 2 1 2 4 5 6 7 and swap
    that with 3. You continue doing this until the array is totaly
    sorted.

    ya, I have no doubt this is homework. Gotta try it first. Get some code up here to show you've done something on your own and you'll get people to help.
