Selection Sort

# Selection Sort

Zerethon Official Sample `selection-sort`, version 1.2.0, Node.js 22.

- `selection_sort.js` — the algorithm, as shown in Zerethon Tools
- `main.js` — entry file: a short demonstration
- `test_selection_sort.js` — checks; set it as the entry file to run them

This project is your own copy. Changing it never changes the official sample.
