Binary Insertion Sort
We can use binary search to reduce the number of comparisons in normal insertion sort. Binary Insertion Sort uses binary search to find the proper location to insert the selected item at each iteration.
In normal insertion sort, it takes O(n) comparisons(at nth iteration) in worst case. We can reduce it to O(log n) by using binary search.
C/C++
// C program for implementation of binary insertion sort #include <stdio.h> // A binary search based function to find the position // where item should be inserted in a[low..high] int binarySearch( int a[], int item, int low, int high) { if (high <= low) return (item > a[low])? (low + 1): low; int mid = (low + high)/2; if (item == a[mid]) return mid+1; if (item > a[mid]) return binarySearch(a, item, mid+1, high); return binarySearch(a, item, low, mid-1); } // Function to sort an array a[] of size 'n' void insertionSort( int a[], int n) { int i, loc, j, k, selected; for (i = 1; i < n; ++i) { j = i - 1; selected = a[i]; // find location where selected sould be inseretd loc = binarySearch(a, selected, 0, j); // Move all elements after location to create space while (j >= loc) { a[j+1] = a[j]; j--; } a[j+1] = selected; } } // Driver program to test above function int main() { int a[] = {37, 23, 0, 17, 12, 72, 31, 46, 100, 88, 54}; int n = sizeof (a)/ sizeof (a[0]), i; insertionSort(a, n); printf ( "Sorted array: \n" ); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) printf ( "%d " ,a[i]); return 0; } |

Output:
Sorted array: 0 12 17 23 31 37 46 54 72 88 100
Time Complexity: The algorithm as a whole still has a running worst case running time of O(n2) because of the series of swaps required for each insertion.
