Insertion Sort in C++
Below is an example of the Insertion Sort algorithm in C++. See the Insertion Sort page for more information and implementations.

#include <vector>

// start at the first index and iterate through to the end

* Check:
* 1. that currentIndex is at least 1
* 2. that the item directly before the currentIndex is greater than the item at currentIndex

* If both conditions are met, swap the indexes
