To make it concrete, let's use the example shown in Figure 1. In this example, the array
contains [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2], and the size of the array is 7. As we can see, The input
array are sorted excepted the last one. The goal here is to place last element into a correct
position so all numbers will be sorted. This is exactly what the method insertLast is to
perform.

Figure 1: Sampel output for insertion sort part 1.
As we recall from the lecture, the idea is keep shifting all larger number (compared with the
last number) to the right until we nd the number is smaller than the last number. In our
example,
1. Compare 7 with 2. Since 7 > 2, we copy 7 to its right.
2. Compare 6 with 2. Since 6 > 2, we copy 6 to its right.
3. Compare 5 with 2. Since 5 > 2, we copy 5 to its right.
4. Compare 4 with 2. Since 4 > 2, we copy 4 to its right.
5. Compare 3 with 2. Since 3 > 2, we copy 3 to its right.
6. Compare 1 with 2. Since 1 < 2, we stop here and copy 2 to its current position.
In this method, you are required to print the following information for each iteration until
the termination of the loop (See Figure 1):
The intermediate array content and
The comparing pair information
In this example, ve numbers (3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) are greater than 2, so you have ve (5)
shifts, and ve lines of outputs, plus one line putting 2 in its right position.

2.2 Part2: insertionSort
/**
A method to make an unsorted array into fully sorted.
@param arr: an array of integers
@param size: the number of elements in an array
*/
public static void insertionSort(int[] arr, int size)
{
// your work
}
This method is to make an unsorted array into sorted, which we have discussed in the lec-
ture. The basic idea is to run n ? 1 iterations, and for each iteration, we perform the task
as we implemented in Part 1.
Figure 2: Outputs for part 2: average (Left), best (Middle), and worst (Right) cases
To make it concrete, let's use the example shown in Figure 2 (Left). In this example, the
array contains [5, 7, 3, 6, 4, 1, 2], and the size of the whole array is 7. Since the size
of the array n = 7, you need 6 iterations to get the whole array to be sorted. Particularly,
1. Iteration #1: Perform insertLast on subarray [5, 7]
2. Iteration #2: Perform insertLast on subarray [5, 7, 3]
3. Iteration #3: Perform insertLast on subarray [3, 5, 7, 6]
3
4. Iteration #4: Perform insertLast on subarray [3, 5, 6, 7, 4]
5. Iteration #5: Perform insertLast on subarray [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1]
6. Iteration #6: Perform insertLast on subarray [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2]
In this method, you are required to print the following information (1) The intermediate
array content and (2) The numbers of shift for each iteration, and the total number of shifts
(See Figure 2).
Important: Since the insertLast prints out intermediate results, you may NOT di-
rectly use this method in insertionSort. You could copy the original source code from
insertLast and disable the printing statements. or write another insertLast method
without printing statements.
2.3 Addtional: printArray
public static void printArray(int [] arr, int size)
A variety of printArray methods with di erent parameters (designed on your own) maybe
useful as you will print out array each iteration used in previous methods.
2.4 main()
To test your program, you may provide a menu list for user to choose (See Figures 1 and 2),
declare an array with the size (given from the keyboard) or xed number, ll up the array val-
ues from the keyboard, invoke one of these two methods (insertLast and insertionSort),
and print out the required formatted program outputs (See Figures 1 and 2).
3 Additional Requirements
1. Your program should not terminate if user does not enter 3 (means terminating the
program). (Hint: you may use do-while loop to control it in your main()).
2. For the testing of part1, make sure you enter an input array with almost sorted,
i.e., all elements in the array are sorted except the last one.
3. For the testing of part 2, you should test your program with the inputs of (a) unsorted
array (average case), (b) sorted array in ascending order (best case), and (c)
sorted array in descending order (worst case). Save screenshots for each case like
I did in Figure 2.
4. Your program should have good style (indentation, whitespace, comments, vertical
alignment, ...).
