C Program to sort an array using insertion sort


I have seen couple of students who use swap in insertion sort to sort an array.Insertion sort is an example of exchange sort ,we don't swap two elements to sort an array ,instead of this we shift elements if ith element is greater than i+1th element to sort an array.It works on simple concept:-
Store the ith element in temporary variable and shift element until you find the element smaller than this element towards 0 index position.Here is the C Program to find insertion sort:-

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    int arrSize,i;
   printf("Enter Size of array:");
   scanf("%d",&arrSize);
   int array[arrSize];
   for(i=0;i<arrSize;i++){
       scanf("%d",&array[i]);
   }
   int temp,j;
   for(i=1;i<arrSize;i++){
       temp=array[i];
       for(j=i;j>0;j--){
           if(temp<array[j-1]){
               array[j]=array[j-1];
           }else{break;}
       }
       array[j]=temp;
   }
   printf("Sorted Array is:\n");
   for(i=0;i<arrSize;i++){
       printf("%d",array[i]);
   }
}

  1. temp=array[i];
    for(j=i;j>0;j--){
    if(temp<array[j-1]){
    array[j]=array[j-1];
    }else{break;}
    }
    array[j]=temp;

  2. temp=array[i];
    for(j=i;j>0;j--){
    if(temp<array[j-1]){
    array[j]=array[j-1];
    }else{break;}
    }
    array[j]=temp;

    please explain this code in detail

  3. @kaju:-this code will put ith element in temp and run the code if any i-1 th element is greater than ith element.............at the same time.....it will shift all the element which is greater than ith element.to right.......
    Till at the end of inner loop....it will put the ith element in the jth element position.
    If any element is not greater than i th element then it breaks the inner loop .

Long-Polling vs WebSockets vs Server-Sent Events

Long-Polling vs WebSockets vs Server-Sent Events  Long-Polling, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events are popular communication protocols between a client like a web browser and a web server. First, let’s start with understanding what a standard HTTP web request looks like. Following are a sequence of events for regular HTTP request: Client opens a connection and requests data from the server. The server calculates the response. The server sends the response back to the client on the opened request. HTTP Protocol Ajax Polling Polling is a standard technique used by the vast majority of AJAX applications. The basic idea is that the client repeatedly polls (or requests) a server for data. The client makes a request and waits for the server to respond with data. If no data is available, an empty response is returned. Client opens a connection and requests data from the server using regular HTTP. The requested webpage sends requests to the server at

MonoLithic Vs Microservice Architecture | which Architecture should i choose ?

From last few years ,microservices are an accelerating trend . Indeed, microservices approach offers tangible benefits including an increase in scalability, flexibility, agility, and other significant advantages. Netflix, Google, Amazon, and other tech leaders have successfully switched from monolithic architecture to microservices. Meanwhile, many companies consider following this example as the most efficient way for business growth. On the contrary, the monolithic approach is a default model for creating a software application. Still, its trend is going down because building a monolithic application poses a number of challenges associated with handling a huge code base, adopting a new technology, scaling, deployment, implementing new changes and others. So is the monolithic approach outdated and should be left in the past? And is it worth shifting the whole application from a monolith to microservices ? Will developing a microservices application help you reach you

Face Detection model on Image/Webcam/Video using Machine Learning OpenCV

Face detection is a computer technology that is being applied for many different applications that require the identification of human faces in digital images or video. It can be regarded as a specific case of object-class detection, where the task is to find the locations and sizes of all objects in an image that belongs to a given class. The technology is able to detect frontal or near-frontal faces in a photo, regardless of orientation, lighting conditions or skin color . Not Face Recognition! It’s about Detection. Face recognition describes a biometric technology that goes way beyond recognizing when a human face is present. It actually attempts to establish whose face it is. In this article, I’m not going deep into recognizing. I’ll keep that for a future blog article and for the time being, I’m going to explain how to run a simple Face  Detection program using your WebCam with Python Or we can run simple program on image as well . We are dealing with below Cascade models for fac
