Write a modified “dual” version of the selection sort algorithm that selects both the largest and smallest elements on each pass and moves each of them to the appropriate end of the array. Will this algorithm be faster than the standard selection sort? What predictions world you make about its performance relative to the merge sort algorithm? What will its complexity class (big-Oh) be?
Sorry the answer is not available at the moment…
