1. A virtual object selection method, comprising:
displaying, on a user interface, a display picture corresponding to a virtual environment and a first virtual object located in the virtual environment;
obtaining a set execution range of a first operation of the first virtual object in the virtual environment;
determining a priority execution range of the first operation in the virtual environment, the priority execution range being within the set execution range and smaller than the set execution range; and
selecting a second virtual object from the priority execution range as a target virtual object corresponding to the first operation by sorting priorities of plural second virtual objects in the priority execution range, a priority of a respective one of the plural second virtual objects being calculated according to reference sorting information including at least one of a life value, a distance value, an energy value, a level value, or an attacked state of the respective one of the plural second virtual objects.
