https://ide.codingblocks.com/s/373239 This is my shared url in which I get doubt, my doubt is that when i give input as
5
1 3 2 5 4
my output is 1 2 3 4 5 but i cant understand how output is starting from one according to code it should be null.
help me to solve my doubt by seeing and dry run code.

hello @manoj2597
the output is correct . it should be 1 2 3 4 5 only.

in ur code u r picking index of minimum and then u putting it as its correct location which is correct logic of selection sort

But i dont understand why output is starting from 1 when i dry run my code in condition if(a[j]<a[min_index]. Please help me to understand this

help me to understand this problem

here we are just comparing our previous min with current element a[j]
and if a[j] < a[min_index] then that means a[j] shuld be our new minimum hence we r updating min_index with j
