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
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
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
Insertion Sort Example
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)
Table
Algorithm Worst Case Best Case
Insertion Sort n(n-1)/2 = O(n^2) n(n-1)/4 = O(n^2)
Advantages
Simple to code
Very good performance with small lists
Very memory efficient
Very good when the list is almost sorted
Disadvantages
Inefficiency for large array
Poor performance with large lists
Least advance to other algorithm
