Question

I am a beginner of C++, trying to finish my program in selection sort with vector, but it keeps showing up the errors

Can somebody help

void selectionSort(const vector& newMyVector)
{
   cout << "Vector in Selection Sort : " ;
   int length = newMyVector.size();

   for (unsigned int i=0; i < length-1; i++)
   {
       int min = i;
       for(unsigned int j = i+1; j < length; j++)
       {
           if (newMyVector[j] < newMyVector[min])
           {
               min = j;
           }
       }
          int temp=newMyVector[min];
           newMyVector[min]=newMyVector[i];
           newMyVector[i]= temp;
      
       printVector(newMyVector);
   }
  
   cout << endl;
}

this is the error on

newMyVector[min]=newMyVector[i];

[Error] assignment of read-only location '(& newMyVector)->std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator[] >(((std::vector::size_type)min))'

newMyVector[i]= temp;

[Error] assignment of read-only location '(& newMyVector)->std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator[] >(((std::vector::size_type)i))'

Explanation / Answer

void selectionSort(vector<int>& newMyVector) // remove const here this is causing issue. u cant modify const object. but u are swapping elements.
{
   cout << "Vector in Selection Sort : " ;
   int length = newMyVector.size();
   for (unsigned int i=0; i < length-1; i++)
   {
       int min = i;
       for(unsigned int j = i+1; j < length; j++)
       {
           if (newMyVector[j] < newMyVector[min])
           {
               min = j;
           }
       }
          int temp=newMyVector[min];
           newMyVector[min]=newMyVector[i];
           newMyVector[i]= temp;
       printVector(newMyVector);
   }
   cout << endl;
}
