K’th smallest element

PROBLEM :

Given an array and a number k where k is smaller than size of array, the task is to find the k’th smallest element in the given array. It is given that all array elements are distinct.

Input:

First Line of input contains an integer T denoting the number of test cases. Then T test cases follow. Each test case consists of three lines. First line of each test case contains an integer N denoting size of the array. Second line contains N space separated integer denoting elements of the array. Third line of the test case contains an integer K.

Output:

Corresponding to each test case, print the desired output in a new line.

Constraints:

1<=T<=100
1<=N<=1000
K<N

Example:

INPUT
2
6
7 10 4 3 20 15
3
5
7 10 4 20 15
4

Output:
7
15

SIMPLE c++ IMPLEMENTATION :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// can use mearge sort,quick sort for better time compexivity

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int Kth_smallest(int [],int ,int ) ;
void bubble(int [],int ) ;

int main()
 {
int t,no,arr[1000],i,k ;
cin>>t ;
while(t--)
{
   cin>>no ;
   for(i=0;i<no;i++)
       cin>>arr[i] ;
   cin>>k ;
 
   no=Kth_smallest(arr,no,k) ;
   cout<<no<<endl ;
}
return 0;
}

int Kth_smallest(int arr[],int no,int k)
{
    int i ;
    bubble(arr,no) ;
   
    return arr[k-1] ;
}

void bubble(int arr[],int no)
{
    int i,j,temp ;
   
    for(i=0;i<no-1;i++)
    {
        for(j=0;j<no-i-1;j++)
        {
            if(arr[j]>arr[j+1])
            {
                temp=arr[j] ;
                arr[j]=arr[j+1] ;
                arr[j+1]=temp ;
            }
        }
    }
}
