 * Function: SortIntegerArray
 * --------------------------
 * This implementation uses an algorithm called selection sort,
 * which can be described in English as follows.  With your left
 * hand, point at each element in the array in turn, starting at
 * index 0.  At each step in the cycle:
 *
 * (1)  Find the smallest element in the range between your left
 *      hand and the end of the array, and point at that element
 *      with your right hand.
 *
 * (2)  Move that element into its correct index position by
 *      switching the elements indicated by your left and right
 *      hands.

 * -----------------------------------------------------
 * This function returns the index of the smallest value in the
 * specified array of integers, searching only between the index
 * positions low and high, inclusive.  It operates by keeping track
 * of the index of the smallest so far in the variable spos.  If the
 * index range is empty, the function returns low.
