Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze the performance of Insertion Sort for various inputs: completely unsorted, completely sorted, and reverse sorted arrays. Discuss how each scenario affects the time complexity.

💡 Hint: Consider the comparisons and shifts needed for each case.

Question 2

Write a performance comparison between Insertion Sort and Quick Sort on the basis of average runtime across 10,000 random numbers.

💡 Hint: Think about how swaps and partitioning differ in handling elements in these sorts.
