How To Code: Insertion Sort in C language
Insertion sort is a basic algorithm for sorting elements in an array or list. Insertion sort works by grabbing one element and comparing to the element next to it. If the element is larger than its neighbor, then the element is left in its original position. If the element is smaller than its neighbor, than it compares it to the other previous elements to find a suitable position. Then all larger values are shifted up a space and the element is inserted into the correct position.
Output:
Sorted Array array:[17][26][36][48][52]
Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material shoot off the Sun into space. The magnetosphere shields Earth, but the solar wind can get in near the poles and disrupt satellite, radio & GPS signals
Researchers have taught an artificial intelligence program used to recognize faces on Facebook to identify galaxies in deep space.
The result is an AI bot named ClaRAN that scans images taken by radio telescopes.
Its job is to spot radio galaxies – galaxies that emit powerful radio jets from supermassive black holes at their centers.

“Over the past few decades, astronomers have uncovered thousands of new exoplanets. Some of them are rocky; some are temperate; some have water. However, the idea that exoplanet K2-18b is rocky, Earth-like, and has liquid water is absurd, despite recent headlines. Light filters through K2-18b’s atmosphere when it passes in front of its star, enabling us to measure what’s absorbed. Based on those absorption lines, the presence of many chemicals can be inferred, including water. K2-18b is, truly, the first known habitable-zone exoplanet to contain water. However, it is not rocky; its mass and radius are too large, necessitating a large gas envelope around it.”
How incredible was that report that came out last week: the first Earth-like, rocky exoplanet with liquid water on its surface has been discovered! If it were true, it would be incredible. Well, what we did find is still pretty remarkable, but it’s very different from what you’ve likely heard.
We did find water on the exoplanet in question, K2-18b, but only in the vapor phase and only in the atmosphere.
The exoplanet is closer to Earth in terms of mass and radius than any other with water on it, but the planet is still too massive and large to be rocky. It must have an envelope of hydrogen and helium, and both have had their presence detected.
If we want to find atmospheric biosignatures around Earth-like worlds, we need better observatories. Let’s build them! Here’s the real story.
