insertion sort

(redirected from Insertsort)

insertion sort

(algorithm)
A sorting algorithm that inserts each item in the proper place into an initially empty list by comparing it with each item in the list until it finds the new element's successor or the end of the list.

Compare bubble sort.

It consists in evaluating the run-times of three well-known sorting algorithms: QuickSort, BubbleSort and InsertSort. A thousand different arrays of different sizes were randomly generated for the tests.
The empirical results show that the fastest sorting algorithm is Quicksort, followed by Insertsort, then by Bubblesort.
Keywords: sorting algorithm, complexity, QuickSort, BubbleSort, InsertSort
The empirical evaluations presented in this paper confirmed the theoretical complexities of the three sorting algorithms: Regardless the programming language used for implementation, the most efficient algorithm is QuickSort followed by Insertsort, then by BubbleSort.
