## Code
```java
for(int i=1; i<numbers.length; i++) {
key = numbers[i];
j = i-1;
while(j >= 0 && numbers[j] > key) {
numbers[j + 1] = numbers[j];
j--;
}
numbers[j + 1] = key;
}
## Attributes
- Stable
- Instead of swapping elements, all elements are shifted one position ahead
- Adaptable
- if input is already sorted then time complexity will be $`O(n)`$
- Space complexity
- In-place sorting, original array is updated rather than creating a new one, space complexity $`O(1)`$
- Very low overhead
## Time Complexity
- Best Case
- $`O(N)`$
- Worst Case
- $`O(N^2)`$
- Average Case
- $`O(N^2)`$
Number of passes and comparisons
- Number of passes
- Insetion sort always require n-1 passes
- Mininimum number of comparisons = $`n-1`$
- maximum number of comparisons = $`\dfrac{n^2-n}{2}`$ or $`n(n-1)/2`$
- Average number of comparisons = $`\dfrac{n^2-n}{4}`$ or $n(n-1)/4`$
## When To Use
- Good to use when the array is `nearly sorted`, and only a few elements are misplaced
- Method is efficient - reduces the number of comparisons if in a pratially sorted array
- Method will simply insert the unsorted elements into its correct place.
## When not to use
- In efficient for `inverse sorting`
- Descending order is considered the worst unsorted case
- Not as efficient if list is completely unsorted
## Relation to Selection Sort
- Outer loop over every index
- Inner loop
- Each pass (within the inner loop) increases the number of sorted items by one until there are no more unsorted items
## Differences To Selection Sort
Selection Sort
- Taking the current item and swapping it with the smallest item on the right side of the list
- More simple
- One possible case $`O(n^2)`$
Insertion Sort
- Taking the current item and inserting into the right position by adjusting the list
- more efficient (best case $`O(n)`$)
