Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Apply insertion sort to the reverse-sorted list [100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50]. Record and explain each step.

💡 Hint: Write down what happens with each element as you insert it into the already-sorted section.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a list of random numbers, analyze its performance with insertion sort, and compare with selection sort for different sizes of lists (e.g., 10, 100, 1000).

💡 Hint: Use print statements to track the time taken for both sorting methods.
