The *measure-InsertionSort.ps1* Script
===========================
This PowerShell script measures the speed of the InsertionSort algorithm.
InsertionSort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array (or list)
one item at a time. It is much less efficient on large lists than more advanced algorithms
such as quicksort, heapsort, or merge sort.
Parameters
----------
```powershell
/home/markus/Repos/PowerShell/scripts/measure-InsertionSort.ps1 [[-numIntegers] <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
-numIntegers <Int32>
Specifies the number of integers to sort
Required? false
Position? 1
Default value 1000
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
[<CommonParameters>]
This script supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction,
WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.
```
Example
-------
```powershell
PS> ./measure-InsertionSort.ps1
🧭 0.423 sec to sort 1000 integers by InsertionSort
```
