Insertion Sort Algorithm and Complexity Analysis

Insertion sort is a stable and adaptive sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one item at a time, with a time complexity of O(n^2) and a space complexity of O(1). It performs better on partially sorted data and is efficient for small arrays or as a final step in more complex sorting algorithms. The algorithm maintains the relative order of equal elements, making it suitable for various applications.
