BinaryInsertion (Algorithms 4/e)

```
public class BinaryInsertion
extends Object
```
The BinaryInsertion class provides a static method for sorting an array using an optimized binary insertion sort with half exchanges.
In the worst case, this implementation makes ~ n log₂n compares to sort an array of length n. However, in the worst case, the running time is Θ(n²) because the number of array accesses can be quadratic. As such, it is not suitable for sorting large arrays (unless the number of inversions is small).
This sorting algorithm is stable. It uses Θ(1) extra memory (not including the input array).
For additional documentation, see Section 2.1 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
