print arr[i]Complexity Analysis of Insertion Sort
Even though insertion sort is efficient, still, if we provide an already sorted array to the insertion sort algorithm, it will still execute the outer for loop, thereby requiring n steps to sort an already sorted array of n elements, which makes its best case time complexity a linear function of n.
Worst Case Time Complexity [ Big-O ]: O(n2)
Best Case Time Complexity [Big-omega]: O(n)
Average Time Complexity [Big-theta]: O(n2)
Space Complexity: O(1)
