    Hey! Thanks for the video! I really appreciate it!
    Just a quick question on the code in the end: Are you sure that's an insertion sorting code because it seems as though the code only swaps two numbers into the right order other than taking one number and moving it to where it should be?

    • @AlyssaMarie-vr8cc
      @AlyssaMarie-vr8cc 2 года назад +2

      Valid question - what distinguishes insertion sort from other sorts is that it does not use 'swap', instead it 'shifts' items to the right. Conceptually it is different than swapping, but in practice, the process essentially does swap numbers similar to other sorting methods. But I think you are correct, the correct code for insertion sort should look like this:
      INSERTION-SORT(A)
      1. for j = 2 to n
      2. key ← A [j]
      3. // Insert A[j] into the sorted sequence A[1..j-1]
      4. j ← i - 1
      5. while i > 0 and A[i] > key
      6. A[i+1] ← A[i]
      7. i ← i - 1
      8. A[j+1] ← key

  • @BillAnt
    @BillAnt Год назад

    Bubble sort is similar but you only swap one position at a time with multiple passes which is more efficient than insertion sort.
    Quick sort uses a pivot point for left and right sorting with regression at the end which is the most efficient of the three.

    Thnx for the vid. Very clear.
    However, I'm not sure why your code is "swapping" the two elements *within* the loop. The advantage of InsertionSort is that there is actually no swapping at all being done inside the loop - there is simply a *shift* operation. The swap happens(i.e. completes) at the end right after the loop completes using the previously-cached element value.

    So... It's basically just Shuttle Sort.? Like literally I see no difference between them. Shuttle Sort will sort items in 1 complete pass the same as this one.
    example: 6 3 5 4
    it will swap 6 and 3 then swaps 5 and 4, It won't loop back to 6 and 3 but instead it will continue swapping 4 since it meets the condition of while(this element < the element behind it).
    Initialization: 6354
    1st pass: 3456
    Done.
