Array is sorted!
  • Insertion Sort

    Insertion Sort is a simple comparison-based sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one element at a time. It works by dividing the list into a sorted and an unsorted portion, and it repeatedly takes the first element from the unsorted portion and inserts it into the correct position in the sorted portion.

    Time Complexity:

    Best Case: O(n) (when the array is already sorted)

    Average Case: O(n²) (due to nested loops for comparisons and shifts)

    Worst Case: O(n²) (when the array is sorted in reverse order)

    Space Complexity:

    O(1) (in-place sorting; requires a constant amount of additional memory)

    Insertion Sort is efficient for small datasets or nearly sorted data but becomes inefficient for larger lists compared to more advanced algorithms.
