* @brief Insertion Sort Algorithm

*
* @details
* Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final
* sorted array one element at a time. It is much less efficient compared
* to other sorting algorithms like heap sort, merge sort, or quick sort.
*
* However, it has several advantages:
* - Easy to implement.
* - Efficient for small data sets.
* - More efficient than other O(n²) algorithms like selection sort or bubble sort.
* - Stable: it does not change the relative order of elements with equal keys.
*
* Insertion sort works similarly to how people sort playing cards in their hands.
* The algorithm iterates through the list and inserts each element into its correct
* position in the sorted portion of the array.
*
* The time complexity of the algorithm is \f$O(n^2)\f$, and in some cases, it
* can be \f$O(n)\f$.
*
* Example execution:
* 1. Start with the array [4, 3, 2, 5, 1].
* 2. Insert 3 in its correct position: [3, 4, 2, 5, 1].
* 3. Insert 2: [2, 3, 4, 5, 1].
* 4. Continue this until the array is sorted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
