Tell us what’s happening:

Task is to create temp variable and swap values.What is wrong?

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */

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;
      }  const temp = array[i];
      array[i]=array[minIndex];
 temp=array[minIndex];

Hi there,

I suggest you review the bubbleSort() function to understand the purpose of using a temp variable. Once you’re clear on that, reset this step and try again (you have added some extra code that was not asked). Please pay careful attention to where this “swap” code should be placed within the selectionSort() function.
