Q. Write a program to sort an array elements in Descending order using Insertion Sort Algorithm.



Insertion Sort :-Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that works out how to sort cards playing in our hands.

Descending order :- Numbers are said to be in descending order when they are arranged from largest to smallest number. Such as 21, 17, 13, 9 and 3 are arranged in descending order.

Insertion Sort Algorithm

START
Step 1 : If it is the first element, it is already sorted. return 1;
Step 2 : Pick next element
Step 3 : Compare with all elements in the sorted sub-list
Step 4 : Shift all the elements in the sorted sub-list that is less than the 
value to be sorted
Step 5 : Insert the value
Step 6 : Repeat until list is sorted
