Example 1: insertion sort in python

def insertion(s):
    for i in range(0,len(s)-1):
        if s[i]>s[i+1]:
            s[i],s[i+1]=s[i+1],s[i]
            for j in range(i,0,-1):
                if s[j]<s[j-1]:
                    s[j],s[j-1]=s[j-1],s[j]
    print(s)
    
insertion([5,2,1,9,0,4,6])

Example 2: 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]))
