insertion order python list 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 in python

def tri_insert(tab): 
for i in range(1, len(tab)): 
        k = tab[i] 
        j = i-1
        while j >= 0 and k < tab[j] : 
                tab[j + 1] = tab[j] 
                j -= 1
        tab[j + 1] = k


    return tab
