I can use an insertion sort to sort a list containing sample data.
Show transcript
An insertion sort groups the items of a list into two parts: a sorted sublist and an unsorted sublist.
An item is taken from the unsorted sublist, compared to the items in the sorted sublist and put in the correct position.
People often perform an insertion sort when they are putting objects into order, like books or cards.
