Program Description Answer

“Insertion sort” is the sorting algorithm in which the first two elements of the array are taken and place the third element relative to first two elements. Likewise, this process is continued for subsequent elements until the entire array is sorted.

Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.

This algorithm makes several passes through an array and causes the larger values togradually move toward the end of the array with each pass.a. bubble sortb. selection sortc. insertion sortd. sequential sort
Sorting is a basic issue with arrays in which the goal is to find the target element in the array. Choose from the following options: False
The program has four steps: Read the size of an integer array, followed by the elements of the array (no duplicates). Output the array. Perform an insertion sort on the array. Output the number of comparisons and swaps performed. main() performs steps 1 and 2. Implement step 3 based on the insertion sort algorithm in the book. Modify insertionSort() to: Count the number of comparisons performed. Count the number of swaps performed. Output the array during each iteration of the outside loop. Complete main() to perform step 4, according to the format shown in the example below. Hints: In order to count comparisons and swaps, modify the while loop in insertionSort(). Use static variables for comparisons and swaps. The program provides three helper methods: // Read and return an array of integers. // The first integer read is number of integers that follow. int[] readNums() // Print the numbers in the array, separated by spaces // (No space or newline before the first number or after…
