Insertion Sort Average Case Analysis
The average case is also quadratic, which makes insertion sort impractical for sorting large arrays.
However, insertion sort is one of the fastest algorithms for sorting very small arrays.
Given Input: [7 8 3 1 6]
PASS 1 :
item=8 > data[0]=7. while loop
condition is false, therefore data[1] will be assigned with item = 8.
No of comparison = 1
PASS 2 :
Item to be insert is 3. Insertion point is from indeks 0- 2, which is between 7 and 8. Number of comparison = 2
PASS 3 :
Item to be insert is 1. Insertion point is from indeks
0-3, which is between 3, 7 and 8.
Number of comparison = 3
PASS 4 :
Item to be insert is 6. Insertion point is from indeks 0-4,
which is between 1,3, 7 and 8. at index, item (6) > data[1]=3, while loop condition is false and therefore data[2] is assigned
with value for item = 6.
Number of comparison = 3
Average Case Analysis
*****************
There are 4 passes to sort array with elements [5 6 7 8 9].
Example,
Pass 4, 3 comparison
Pass 3, 3 comparison
Pass 2, 2comparison
Pass 1, 1 comparison
Time complexity for Average Case : O(n2)

quick SORT
The efficeieny of the quicksort depends on the pivot element. However the pivot element can also be choosen at random order or from the last element of the array
