17. Insertion Sort

Insertion sort is a simple yet effective algorithm for sorting a list by iteratively building a sorted sequence. The method involves taking one element at a time from the unsorted list and finding its correct position within the sorted section. The process involves comparing and inserting elements into their rightful place, making insertion sort efficient in cases where the list is partially sorted.
