10. Consider the following algorithm that implements selection sort: public static void selection Sort (Comparable [] a) { int N a.length; for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) { int min = i; for (int j =i+1; j < N; j++) if (less (alil, a[min])) min = j; exch (a, i, min); } If you were choosing a cost metric (i.e., what operation should be counted), in order to determine this algorithm's Big-Oh order, what operation would be the best choice?
