The Selectionsort Algorithm
pWe have increased the size of the sorted side by one element.
Sorted side
Unsorted side
[0]       [1]        [2]       [3]        [4]       [5] 
...and the effect is to increase the size of the sorted side by one element.

As you can see, the sorted side always contains the smallest numbers, and those numbers are sorted from small to large. The unsorted side contains the rest of the numbers, and those numbers are in no particular order.
