Data Structure

Insertion Sort
Sorting Algorithms
 Sorting refers to the operation of arranging data in some
given order, such as increasing or decreasing order.

 Input: sequence 〈a1, a2, …, an〉 of numbers.


Output: 〈a'1, a'2, …, a'n〉 such that a'1≤a'2≤…≤a'n.

 Example:

 Input: 5 2 4 6 1 3
 Output:1 2 3 4 5 6
Insertion Sort
 Suppose an array A with n elements A[1], A[2],
A[3]………A[n] is in memory. The insertion
sort algorithm scans array A from A[1] to A[n],
inserting each element A[k] into its proper
position in the previously sorted sub-array
A[1], A[2]…..A[k-1].
Insertion Sort…
 Pass 1: A[1] by itself is trivially sorted.
 Pass 2: A[2] is inserted either before or after A[1],
so that A[1],A[2] is sorted.
 Pass 3: A[3] is inserted into its proper position in
A[1], A[2], i.e. before A[1], between A[1] and
A[2], or after A[2], so that A[1], A[2], A[3] is
sorted.
 Pass n: A[n] is inserted into its proper place in
A[1], A[2]……… A[n-1], so that A[1], A[2]
……… A[n] is sorted.

Insertion Sort Algorithm
INSERTION-SORT (A,length)
1- for i 1 to length[A]
2- j=i
3- while j > 0 and A[j] <A[j-1]

4- do temp A[j]
5- A[j] A[j- 1]

6- A[j-1] temp
7- j--;
Insertion Sort program
 void in_sort(int a[],int length)
 {
 int j,temp;
 for(int i=1;i<length;i++)
 {j=i;
 while(j>0&& a[j]<a[j-1])
 {
 temp=a[j];
 a[j]=a[j-1];
 a[j-1]=temp;
 j--;
 }
 }
