📝 Step-by-Step Explanation

1
Insertion Sort starts with the second element. The first element is considered already sorted.
```
```

🧮 Insertion Sort Mathematics

Select the next element as
KEY = A[i]

Compare KEY with elements on its left.

While A[j] > KEY
Shift A[j] one position to the right.

Then A[j + 1] = KEY

``` for i = 1 to n - 1     KEY = A[i]     j = i - 1          while j >= 0 AND A[j] > KEY         A[j + 1] = A[j]         j = j - 1          A[j + 1] = KEY ```
```
```

💡 How Insertion Sort Works

1
The first element is considered sorted.
2
Select the next element and call it KEY.
3
Compare KEY with elements to its left.
4
If the left element is larger than KEY, shift it one position to the right.
5
Continue shifting until the correct position for KEY is found.
6
Insert KEY into its correct position.
```
```

🔢 Mathematical Example

Array: [12, 11, 13, 5, 6]

Pass 1:
KEY = 11
12 > 11 → Shift 12
Insert 11

Result: [11, 12, 13, 5, 6]

Pass 2:
KEY = 13
12 < 13 → No shift

Result: [11, 12, 13, 5, 6]
```
```

⏱️ Complexity Analysis

Best Case O(n) Already sorted
Average Case O(n²)
Worst Case O(n²) Reverse sorted

Insertion Sort is particularly useful when the array is already nearly sorted because it requires relatively few shifts.
