NAME
insertion sort
DESCRIPTION
Sorts by inserting each successive record into its proper place in
the preceeding, already sorted records. Perform a binary search on
the preceeding records to find where to insert the current record,
then shift all the records over to make room in the right place.
AUTHORSHIP
This is properly called the binary insertion sort and credit is
given for first publication to John Mauchly, 1946.
REFERENCES
Knuth, Art of Computer Programming Vol 3, page 83.
COMPLEXITY
O(n log n) comparisons
O(0.25 * n^2) memory operations
Iterative.
