Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: N-1 passes, N-number of elements.
Detailed explanation-2: -What will be the number of passes to sort the elements using insertion sort? Explanation: The number of passes is given by N-1.
Detailed explanation-3: -How many passes does an insertion sort algorithm consist of? Question 1 Explanation: An insertion algorithm consists of N-1 passes when an array of N elements is given.
Detailed explanation-4: -To summarize, an insertion sort of N items always requires exactly N-1 passes through the sorted portion of the list.
Detailed explanation-5: -In a naive implementation of selection sort, this means that there will always be n-1 swaps made regardless of distribution of elements in the input array.
