python code for insertion sorting of array code example

Example 1: insertion sort python

def insertionSort(alist):

   for i in range(1,len(alist)):

       #element to be compared
       current = alist[i]

       #comparing the current element with the sorted portion and swapping
       while i>0 and alist[i-1]>current:
           alist[i] = alist[i-1]
           i = i-1
          alist[i] = current

       #print(alist)

   return alist

print(insertionSort([5,2,1,9,0,4,6]))

Example 2: 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]))
