In an insertion sort, the list of items is gone through, one item at a time, starting at the beginning.
As each item is reached, the correct location earlier in the list is found for it, based on the desired outcome.
How a Selection Sort works?
In a selection sort, the list of items is divided into two lists: a list of sorted items (initially empty), and a list of unsorted items (initially this has all the items in the list). The unsorted list is then gone through, one item at a time. Each item is placed in the sorted list at the correct point, according to the desired outcome. Once all items in the unsorted list have been handled, the sorted list is the final product.
