Python Program to Insertion Sort
# creating a function for insertion
def insertion_sort(list1):
# Outer loop to traverse through 1 to len(list1)
for i in range(1, len(list1)):
value = list1[i]
# Move elements of list1[0..i-1], that are
# greater than value, to one position ahead
# of their current position
j = i - 1
while j >= 0 and value < list1[j]:
list1[j + 1] = list1[j]
j -= 1
list1[j + 1] = value
return list1
# Driver code to test above
list1 = [10, 5, 13, 8, 2]
print("The unsorted list is:", list1)
print("The sorted list1 is:", insertion_sort(list1))
Output:
The unsorted list is: [10, 5, 13, 8, 2]
The sorted list1 is: [2, 5, 8, 10, 13]
