Insertion sort in 'c'

Here, sorting takes place by inserting a particular element at the appropriate position, that’s why the name- insertion sorting. In the First iteration, second element A[1] is compared with the first element A[0]. In the second iteration third element is compared with first and second element. In general, in every iteration an element is compared with all the elements before it. While comparing if it is found that the element can be inserted at a suitable position, then space is created for it by shifting the other elements one position up and inserts the desired element at the suitable position. This procedure is repeated for all the elements in the list.

#include
void main()
{  
 int A[20], N, Temp, i, j;  
 clrscr();  
 printf("\n\n\t ENTER THE NUMBER OF TERMS...: ");
 scanf("%d", &N);  printf("\n\t ENTER THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARRAY...:");
 for(i=0; i<N; i++)  
 {      
  scanf("\n\t\t%d", &A[i]);  
 }  
 for(i=1; i<N; i++)
 {   
  Temp = A[i];   
  j = i-1;   
  while(Temp<A[j] && j>=0)   
  {    
   A[j+1] = A[j];    
   j = j-1;   
  }   A[j+1] = Temp;  
 }  
 printf("\n\tTHE ASCENDING ORDER LIST IS...:\n");  
 for(i=0; i<N; i++)
 {   
  printf("\n\t\t\t%d", A[i]);
 }  
 getch(); 
}
