Two different sorting algorithms are actually the same. Professor Graham Hutton explains.
Note from Professor Hutton: It's great to see all the discussions here! To clarify a point raised in some of the comments, the video shows that if you consider the essential underlying idea of selection sort and insertion sort, in terms of how they decompose the problem of sorting, then they perform the same operations but in different orders. Using the picture in the video, selection sort proceeds column at a time and insertion sort proceeds row at a time, but they both perform the same 'triangle' of operations in the end. A particular implementation of these sorting methods may optimise the process in some way, e.g. in a sequential implementation each row can stop comparing numbers once the point of insertion is found. But this is an implementation detail that is dependent on the computational model used, such as sequential versus parallel, or imperative versus functional, rather than part of the essential means by which the sorting methods work.

Tried out the canvas response option on @SpiralEducation & it's so awesome! Add text or drawings AND annotate an image! #R10tech
Using @SpiralEducation in class for math review. Student approved! Thumbs up! Thanks.
Absolutely amazing collaboration from year 10 today. 100% engagement and constant smiles from all #lovetsla #spiral
Students show better Interpersonal Writing skills than Speaking via @SpiralEducation Great #data #langchat folks!
A good tool for supporting active #learning.
The Team Up app is unlike anything I have ever seen. You left NOTHING out! So impressed!
