+/*
+	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:
+		The subarray which is already sorted.
+		Remaining subarray which is unsorted.
+	Average Time Complexity: O(n^2)
