Linear Search:   In computer science, a linear search or sequential search is a method for finding an element within a list. It sequentially checks each element of the list until a match is found or the whole list has been searched.

Insertion Sort:   Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array  one item at a time. It is much less efficient on large lists than more advanced algorithms such as quickso or merge sort.
