def selectionSort(List):

    for i in range(len(List) - 1): #For iterating n - 1 times

        minimum = i

        for j in range( i + 1, len(List)): # Compare i and i + 1 element

            if(List[j] < List[minimum]):

                minimum = j

        if(minimum != i):

            List[i], List[minimum] = List[minimum], List[i]

    return List
