This document discusses insertion sort, including its mechanism, algorithm, runtime analysis, advantages, and disadvantages. Insertion sort works by iterating through an unsorted array and inserting each element into its sorted position by shifting other elements over. Its worst case runtime is O(n^2) when the array is reverse sorted, but it performs well on small, nearly sorted lists. While simple to implement, insertion sort is inefficient for large datasets compared to other algorithms.

Insertion sort
- 1. Insertion Sort Presented by :- B.Raj Shekhar Monalisa Patel Smrutirekha Nath
- 2. Agenda ★ Introduction ★ Mechanism ★ Algorithm ★ Example ★ Runtime Analysis ★ Advantages & Disadvantages
- 3. Introduction Using linear search, find the location in the sorted portion where the 1st element of the unsorted portion should be inserted Move all the elements after the insertion location up one position to make space for the new element
- 4. Mechanism So,this method is composed of two phases, namely: 1. Selecting 2. Compare – Shift – insert To do that we have to make Two loops ❖ A loop for selecting and comparing ❖ A loop for shift and insert
- 5. Algorithm public insertionSort(int[] arr) { for (int i = 1; i < arr.Length;i++) { int temp = arr[i]; int pos = i; while (arr[pos-1] > temp && pos > 0) { arr[pos] = arr[pos-1]; pos--; } arr[pos] = temp; } } Select Comparing Shift Insert
- 7. Runtime Analysis In Insertion sort the worst case occurs when the array A is in reverse order and the inner loop must use the maximum number k-1 of comparisons. Hence f(n) = 1 + 2 + … + (n-1) = n(n-1)/2 = O(n^2) The Average case, f(n) =1/2 + 2/2 + … + n-1/2 = n(n-1)/4 = O(n^2)
- 8. Table Algorithm Worst Case Best Case Insertion Sort n(n-1)/2 = O(n^2) n(n-1)/4 = O(n^2)
- 9. Advantages Simple to code Very good performance with small lists Very memory efficient Very good when the list is almost sorted
- 10. Disadvantages Inefficiency for large array Poor performance with large lists Least advance to other algorithm
