+2.1 Insertion Sort
+
+Solves the sorting problem.
+
+Input: A sequence of `n` numbers `{a1,a2,...,aN}`
+Output: A permutation (reordering) of the input sequence such that:
+
+ `{a1 <= a2 <= ... <= aN}`
+
+The numbers that we want to sort are known as keys.
+
+e.g.
+
+```plaintext
+
+a. [5, 2, 4, 6, 1, 3]
+ x i
+b. [2, 5, 4, 6, 1, 3]
+ x x i
+c. [2, 4, 5, 6, 1, 3]
+ x x x i
+d. [2, 4, 5, 6, 1, 3]
+ x x x x i
+e. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3]
+ x x x x x i
+f. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
+```
+
+```plaintext
+A = {5,2,4,6,1,3}
+
+for j = 2 to A.length
+ key = A[j]
+ i = j - 1
+ while i > 0 and A[i] > key
+ A[i+1] = A[i]
+ i = i - 1
+ A[i+1] = key
+```
