How does Insertion Sort algorithm work?
- Divides the array into subproblems
- Incrementally builds the sorted subarray by shifting elements
- Randomly selects elements and sorts them
- Swaps elements with a pivot
Insertion Sort works by incrementally building the sorted subarray. It starts with a single element and gradually adds more elements to the sorted subarray by shifting elements to their correct positions. This process is repeated until the entire array is sorted.
