Problem statement
Given an application that needs sorted array
elements as input. However, all the array
elements are not available in the beginning.
Can you use bubble sort in this scenario?
4 3 2 10 12 1 5 6
Virtually split the array into a sorted and an unsorted part.

4 3 2 10 12 1 5 6
Pick one value (say key) from the unsorted part.

4 3 2 10 12 1 5 6

Insert the key to proper position in sorted array

3 4 2 10 12 1 5 6
3 4 2 10 12 1 5 6

3 4 10 12 1 5 6

2 2 < 4, so shift 4 to next position

3 4 10 12 1 5 6

2 2 < 3, so shift 3 to next position


3 4 10 12 1 5 6

No more elements, so insert 2 here.

2 3 4 10 12 1 5 6
Sorted Unsorted

Next: Pick the next element from unsorted array


Insertion Sort
• Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that
works similar to the way you sort playing cards
in your hands.
• Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm in
which we build the sorted array using one
element at a time.
• The array is virtually split into a sorted and an
unsorted part.
• Values from the unsorted part are picked and
placed at the correct position in the sorted
part.
Why named ‘Insertion Sort’
• Insertion sort works by continually inserting
each element from an unsorted subarray into a
sorted subarray, hence the name “insertion”
sort.
Insertion sort: Working
• Virtually split the array into a sorted and an unsorted
part.
• Pick one value (say key) from the unsorted part.
• Compare the key with the elements of the sorted
array and finds its correct position in the sorted array.
• Insert the key to proper position in sorted array. This
is done by shifting all the elements, which are larger
than the current element, in the sorted array to one
position ahead.
• We repeat this until no element remains in the
unsorted subarray
Size of sorted array will be increased by one and size
of unsorted array will be decreased by one
Insertion sort: Algorithm
Insertion Sort: Boundary cases
Best Case: Array is already sorted: O(n) When we initiate
insertion sort on an already sorted array, it will only
compare each element to its predecessor, thereby requiring
n steps to sort the already sorted array of n elements.

Worst Case: Array is reverse sorted: O(n2): When we
initiate insertion sort on a reverse-sorted array, it will insert
each element at the beginning of the sorted subarray,
making it the worst time complexity of insertion sort.

Test yourself

• Is Insertion Sort an in-place sorting
algorithm? Yes
• Is Insertion Sort a stable algorithm? Yes
• Is insertion sort adaptive? Yes
• When is the Insertion Sort algorithm used?
When number of elements is small. When
input array is already sorted or almost sorted.
Insertion sort: Advantages
• On average, insertion performs fewer comparisons
than other quadratic sorting algorithms such as
bubble sort and selection sort.
• It is a stable sorting algorithm, as it does not change
the relative order of elements with equal values.
• It is adaptive, which means it performs a lesser
number of operations if a partially sorted array is
provided as input, making it efficient.
• It is an in-place algorithm ,requires O(1) extra space.
• It is online — it can start sorting the data even if the
entire dataset is not available right from the
beginning.
Insertion sort: Disadvantages
• Its time complexity is quadratic, so it is not
efficient for large data sets.
• Which one out of bubble, insertion and
selection sort?
• All three have quadratic complexity.
