Learn Basic Algorithmic Thinking by Building a Number Sorter - Step 27

Sorry, your code does not pass. Don’t give up.

After your nested for loop, you should declare a temp variable.

const selectionSort = (array) => {
  for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
    let minIndex = i;

    for (let j = i + 1; j < array.length; j++) {
      console.log(array, array[j], array[minIndex])
      if (array[j] < array[minIndex]) {
        minIndex = j;
      }
    }
    
    // Swap values if minIndex is not equal to i
    if (minIndex !== i) {
      const temp = array[i];
      array[i] = array[minIndex];
      array[minIndex] = temp;
    }
  }
}

You are so very close here. What is the purpose of:

if (minIndex !== i) {
