Insertion Sort Algorithm

Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that works by iteratively inserting each element of an unsorted list into its correct position in a sorted portion of the list. It is like sorting playing cards in your hands. You split the cards into two groups: the sorted cards and the unsorted cards. Then, you pick a card from the unsorted group and put it in the right place in the sorted group.

• We start with second element of the array as first element in the array is assumed to be sorted.
• Compare second element with the first element and check if the second element is smaller then swap them.
• Move to the third element and compare it with the first two elements and put at its correct position
• Repeat until the entire array is sorted.
