insertion sort definition code example

Example 1: insertion sort python

def insertion_sort(lst):
    for i in range(1,len(lst)):
        while i > 0 and lst[i - 1] >lst[i] :
            lst[i - 1], lst[i] = lst[i] , lst[i - 1]
            ## swapping
            i = i -1
    return lst
print(insertion_sort([4,2,2,3,4,3,1,1,1,2]))

Example 2: program for insertion sort

# another method similar to insertion sort

def insertionSort(arr):
    for i in range(1, len(arr)):
        k = i
        for j in range(i-1, -1, -1):
            if arr[k] < arr[j]:  # if the key element is smaller than elements before it
                temp = arr[k]  # swapping the two numbers
                arr[k] = arr[j]
                arr[j] = temp

                k = j  # assigning the current index of key value to k
        

arr = [5, 2, 9, 1, 10, 19, 12, 11, 18, 13, 23, 20, 27, 28, 24, -2]

print("original array \n", arr)
insertionSort(arr)
print("\nSorted array \n", arr)

Example 3: insertion sort

// Por ter uma complexidade alta,
// não é recomendado para um conjunto de dados muito grande.
// Complexidade: O(n²) / O(n**2) / O(n^2)

function insertionSort(vetor) {
    let current;
    for (let i = 1; i < vetor.length; i += 1) {
        let j = i - 1;
        current = vetor[i];
        while (j >= 0 && current < vetor[j]) {
            vetor[j + 1] = vetor[j];
            j--;
        }
        vetor[j + 1] = current;
    }
    return vetor;
}

insertionSort([1, 2, 5, 8, 3, 4])

Example 4: insertion sort

function insertionSortRicorsivo(array A, int n)
     if n>1
        insertionSortRicorsivo(A,n-1)
        value ← A[n-1]
        j ← n-2
        while j >= 0 and A[j] > value 
         do A[j + 1] ← A[j]
            j ← j-1
        A[j+1] ← value
