Selection sort is a simple comparison-based sorting algorithm. It works by repeatedly finding the minimum element from the unsorted part of the array and swapping it with the first unsorted element. This process is repeated until the entire array is sorted. The primary disadvantage of selection sort is its time complexity of O(n2), which makes it inefficient for large datasets.
