Insertion sort algorithm

See complete series on sorting algorithms here:

In this lesson, we have described insertion sort algorithm and analyzed its time complexity.

For average case, we can assume that T(n) = (c1+c3)*(n-1) + {1+2+3+4+ ... +n-1}*(c2/2) . We can assume that inner loop will run i/2 times for each i, and not i times. So, 2nd term in expression will be n(n-1)*c2/2 .. Still it will be something like an^2 + bn + c

So this really was just a big build up to using the phrase A[hole]

I have my algorithmics exam tomorrow and your videos have helped me a whole lot more than any of my lecturers ever have... thanks so much, keep up the good work :)

Even after 7 years, It is the best explanation out there.

[ishanpandy]

Thank you so much, sir. This channel is going to help future kids too, who will be willing to learn deep concepts of Data Structures.

[HarpreetBedi]

Nice explanation. On an fun note. "A[hole]" hehe, its interesting you went with this nomenclature for insertion sort.

The way Indians are spreading E-education and making such wonderful videos I think that India will rule the e-learning market after a few years...
great work guys..
carry on.. :)

Every necessary fact bundled as a 14 minute video. Excellent, and super amazing explanation. I am a big fan of your lectures.

[musicalismagical]

Thankyou so much sir I wasted my 5 hours in staring the notes given by college ... Suddenly after being fed up i looked at my phone n thought to see videoo. Within 45 min I understood everything and even I practiced it too .. Tysm

[ashwaniraj]

thanks mycodeschool, you are the best mentor I have ever experienced. never able to get insertion sort from anyone. you made it so so clear. thanks man..

Rather than filling those holes we can simply swap elements as shown in the code. This will ultimately lead to the same thing.
CODE:-
void
for(int i=1;i<v.size();i++){
int value=v[i];
int hole=i;

int temp=v[hole];
v[hole]=v[hole-1];
v[hole-1]=temp;
hole--;
}
}
}

[burdmate]

He keeps inserting into different holes. Or A[holes], which is worse. This algorithm is rather promiscuous.

I am learning so many things from this channel...!! i just download all these videos and watch in faster mode!! Thank you so much sir it helps me a lot.

[HasXXXInCrocs]

Holy crap, just noticed all your videos are in 21:9. How glorious!! This is some masterrace shit right here. Love seeing it on my ultrawide monitor.

[rittuupreti]

R.I.P for this guy ..may he rest in peace ..he did a lot for the community 🙏

[vidyamadineni]

I am very intrested by listening ur class it was soo helpful tqq....☺☺☺

[its.moonjc]

This algorithm is a pain in my A[hole].

[MegaMsanand]

Great explanation! The following code (C++) can also be used as an alternative, which basically a roughly condensed version of your code. This places an element in an array in its right place, everything within one loop. No new variables, no new assignments. Anyway, love your videos!
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int n;

cout<<"number of elements you want to sort\n";
cin>>n;

int A[n];
cout<<"enter the elements\n";
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
cin>>A[i];
}

for(int i=1; i<n;i++){

while(A[i-1]>A[i] && i>0){
int x=A[i-1];
A[i-1]=A[i];
A[i]=x;
i--;
}
}
cout<<"sorted list\n";
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
cout<<A[i]<<" ";
}
}

i just got it in 30 minutes thank you
your channel is 7 years older but still best

[俊材刘-nm]

its my first time to make comment, it's a a very clear explanation, illustrating every small step, thank you very much!
