Answer

Insertion Sort

list = [12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24]

First pass

[12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24] → [12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24] — it will not swap since 12 < 14

Second pass

[12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24] → [12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] — it will swap since -54 < 14
[12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] → [-54, 12, 14, 64, 90, 24] — it will swap since -54 < 12

Third pass

[-54, 12, 14, 64, 90, 24] → [-54, 12, 14, 64, 90, 24] — it will not swap since 64 > 14

Fourth pass

[-54, 12, 14, 64, 90, 24] → [-54, 12, 14, 64, 90, 24] — it will not swap since 90 > 64

After the fourth pass of insertion sort, the list is: [-54, 12, 14, 64, 90, 24]

Bubble Sort

list = [12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24]

First pass — [12, -54, 14, 64, 24, 90]
Second pass — [-54, 12, 14, 24, 64, 90]

First pass

[12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24] → [12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24] — it will not swap since 12 < 14
[12, 14, -54, 64, 90, 24] → [12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] — it will swap since -54 < 14
[12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] → [12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] — it will not swap since 14 < 64
[12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] → [12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] — it will not swap since 64 < 90
[12, -54, 14, 64, 90, 24] → [12, -54, 14, 64, 24, 90] — it will swap since 24 < 90

Second pass

[12, -54, 14, 64, 24, 90] → [-54, 12, 14, 64, 24, 90] — it will swap since -54 < 12
[-54, 12, 14, 64, 24, 90] → [-54, 12, 14, 64, 24, 90] — it will not swap since 12 < 14
[-54, 12, 14, 64, 24, 90] → [-54, 12, 14, 64, 24, 90] — it will not swap since 14 < 64
[-54, 12, 14, 64, 24, 90] → [-54, 12, 14, 24, 64, 90] — it will swap since 24 < 64
[-54, 12, 14, 24, 64, 90] → [-54, 12, 14, 24, 64, 90] — it will not swap since 64 < 90

Since the list is sorted after the second pass: [−54, 12, 14, 24, 64, 90], there is no need to proceed to the third and fourth pass.
