## Insertion Sort List

Sort a linked list using insertion sort.

### Analysis:

The insertion sorting on array can be found in my previous post (here).
The general idea is insert the current element A[i] into the proper position from A[0]...A[i-1], and A[0]...A[i-1] is already sorted.

In this problem, we can use the same idea and linked list provides a more efficient way for insertion.  Details can be found in the code below. Note that after the insertion, the position of P is unchanged but should not provide another p=p->next operation.

### Code:

/**
* struct ListNode {
*     int val;
*     ListNode *next;
*     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
ListNode *p=new ListNode(0);
ListNode *q;

while (p->next!=NULL){
bool flag = false;
while (q!=p){
if (q->next->val>p->next->val){
ListNode* tmp1=p->next;
p->next =p->next->next;
tmp1->next = q->next;
q->next = tmp1;
flag =true;
break;
}else{
q=q->next;
}
}
if (!flag){
p=p->next;
}
}
}
};


1. Can we swap the value of the ListNode itself instead of manipulating the pointers?

1. If the operation is swap then it could. But here is insert.

2. 这是 Bubble sort 不是insertion sort

1. Actually I think it is insertion sort
