From 0 to 1 Data Structures & Algorithms in Java - Insertion Sort

The video tutorial explains insertion sort, a sorting algorithm that builds a sorted list one element at a time by comparing and inserting elements into their correct positions. It highlights the advantages of insertion sort over bubble sort, such as fewer comparisons and swaps, and its adaptive nature. The tutorial includes a detailed example of sorting a list, a code implementation, and a discussion on the algorithm's complexity and benefits.

What is the initial assumption made about the sublist in insertion sort?

Describe the process of inserting an element into the sorted sublist.

What happens to the sorted sublist as more elements are inserted?

What is the significance of the sorted sublist in the insertion sort algorithm?

What is the worst-case scenario for insertion sort?

What is the time complexity of insertion sort in the worst case?

Explain how insertion sort compares to bubble sort in terms of performance.

How does insertion sort maintain the order of equal elements?

How does insertion sort handle nearly sorted lists?

In what scenarios is insertion sort particularly effective?
