Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have an array of numbers representing exam scores: [85, 97, 62, 74, 91]. Write an Insertion Sort function to sort them from highest to lowest.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reverse the comparison in the while loop to achieve descending order.

Question 2

Create a detailed description of how Insertion Sort would behave with a completely reversed array of ten elements.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how each new value must shift all others in a completely sorted arrangement.
