An explanation of insertion sort, its algorithm, and its complexity analysis. It includes diagrams and formulas to illustrate the comparisons and exchanges made during the sorting process. The document also compares insertion sort with bubble sort and selection sort.

Sorting Algorithms
2
-^ Internal Sort– The data to be sorted is all stored in the computer’s
main memory.
-^ External Sort– Some of the data to be sorted might be stored in
some external, slower, device.
-^ In Place Sort– The amount of extra space required to sort the data is
constant with the input size.

To insert 12, we need tomake room for it by movingfirst 36 and then 24.

input array
left sub-array
right sub-array
at each iteration, the array is divided in two sub-arrays:
sorted
unsorted

Invariant
: at the start of the
for^ loop the elements in
A[1.. j-1]
are in sorted order
