        $min = $i;
        for ($j = $i + 1; $j < count($data); $j++) {
            if ($data[$j] < $data[$min]) {
                $min = $j;
            }
        }
        $data = swap_positions($data, $i, $min);
    }
    return $data;

{
    $backup = $data1[$right];
    $data1[$right] = $data1[$left];
