Definition

The recursive insertion sort algorithm is a sorting algorithm that divides the input into a sorted and an unsorted portion. It repeatedly takes elements from the unsorted portion and inserts them in their correct position in the sorted portion until all elements are sorted.

This definition is part of Fiveable's AP Computer Science A review, which also has guided practice questions.
