Kth Smallest

Introduction Finding the Kth smallest element in an array is a common problem in data structures. It is useful in many real-world applications like ranking and statistics. Problem Statement Given an array of integers and a number k , find the Kth smallest element in the array. Approach 1: Sorting Sort the array in ascending order Return the element at index k-1 Python Code (Sorting) python def kth_smallest(arr, k): arr.sort() return arr[k - 1] # Example arr = [7, 10, 4, 3, 20, 15] k = 3 print("Kth Smallest:", kth_smallest(arr, k)) ## Input arr = [7, 10, 4, 3, 20, 15] k = 3 ## output 7
