HackerRank Correctness and the Loop Invariant solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202430 November 2025

In this HackerRank Correctness and the Loop Invariant problem, In the InsertionSort code below, there is an error. Can you fix it? Print the array only once, when it is fully sorted.

HackerRank Correctness and the Loop Invariant solution

Problem solution in Python programming.

def insert_sort(A):
	m = len(A)
  
	for x in range(1,m):
		k = A[x]
		j=x
		while(j>0 and A[j-1]>k):
			A[j] = A[j-1]
			j-=1
      
		A[j]=k
        
	return A

i = int(input())
N = [int(c) for c in input().split()]
N = insert_sort(N)


for a in N:
  print(a, end=" ")
