learning alogrithms

So the problem is to illustrate how the selection sort algorithm behaves on two inputs:
A={1,2,3,4,5} and A={5,4,3,2,1}. I need to state the output generated and then write a function for Big Oh notation.

The algorithm is:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


void printout (int A [], int n)
{
    for (int i=0; i<n; ++i)
        cout << A[i] << " ";
    cout<< '\n';
}

void selectionSort (int A[], int n)
{
    for (int k=0; k<n-1; ++k) {
        int tmp, index = k;
        for (int i=k+1; i < n; ++i)
            if (A[i] < A[index]) index=i;
        tmp= A[k]; // swap
        A[k] = A[index];
        A [index] = tmp;
        printout (A,n);
    }
}
int main ()
{
    system("pause");
    return 0; 
}

I thought i would need to insert a 5 in int A[5] for there being 5 vectors slots. I can get it to run and compile, but then nothing is outputted. What am I doing wrong?

 

In

Code:

int main ()
{
    system("pause");
    return 0; 
}

You are not doing anything but pausing. Maybe you need to set up variables, call a function or two?
