Data Structures and Algorithms The Complete Masterclass - Selection Sort Complexity

The video tutorial explains the complexity of selection sort, focusing on its use of nested loops, which results in a time complexity of O(N^2). The instructor provides a mathematical breakdown of the iteration cycles and discusses the best, average, and worst-case scenarios, all of which result in O(N^2) complexity. The video concludes with a summary of the key points and encourages viewers to visualize the process for better understanding.
