Insertion Sort
This algorithm considers the elements one at a time, inserting eachin its suitable place among those already considered (keeping themsorted). Insertion sort is an example of an incremental algorithm.
It builds the sorted sequence one element at a time.

Mergesort
This algorithm is also based on Divide-and-Conquer approach. Thegeneral idea is to imagine them split into two sets and each set is
individually sorted and the resulting sorted sequence are merged toproduce a single sorted sequence of n elements.

Experiment
In this experiment Turbo C++ 3.0 compiler is used in which thedata set contains random numbers. The initial range of data setstarts from 50 to 10000 elements with increment of 100 elementsand later the size of elements increased and reached to 30000 withthe interval of 1000 elements.

Conclusion
From the above analysis it can be said that in a list of randomnumbers from 10000 to 30000, insertion sort takes more time tosort as compare to heap, quick and merge sorting techniques. If wetake worst case complexity of all the four sorting techniques theninsertion sort and quick sort technique gives the result of the orderof N square, but here if one needs to sort a list in this range thenquick sorting technique will be more helpful than the othertechniques.
