Question: Why do we sort out data?
Answer: For effective analysis of data?

3. Common Sorting:

4. Insertion Sort
 Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm
that builds the final sorted array (or list)
one item at a time
 It is much less efficient on large lists than more
advanced algorithms
 Insertion sort iterates, consuming one input
element each repetition, and growing a sorted
output list
 Each iteration, insertion sort removes one element
from the input data, finds the location it belongs
within the sorted list

5. Advantages / Disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages
• Simple It is much less efficient on
large lists
• Efficient in practice than
most other simple
quadratic
• Does not change the
relative order of elements
with equal key
• Only requires a constant
amount O(1) of additional
memory space
• Can sort a list as it
receives it
Least Advanced to other
Algoritms

6. Best/Worst Array
Best Array:
 The best case input is an array that is already sorted.
 In this case insertion sort has a linear running time
 (i.e., Θ(n)). During each iteration
 The first remaining element of the input is only compared with
the right-most element of the sorted subsection of the array.
Worst Array:
 The simplest worst case input is an array sorted in reverse order
 The set of all worst case inputs consists of all arrays where each
 element is the smallest or second-smallest of the elements before it.
 In these cases every iteration of the inner loop will scan and shift
 the entire sorted subsection of the array before inserting the next element.
