This is necessary because we cannot modify the contents of the `array` parameter directly. Like Swift's own `sorted()`, the `insertionSort()` function will return a sorted *copy* of the original array. 2. There are two loops inside this function. The outer loop looks at each of the elements in the array in turn; this is what picks the top-most number from the pile. The variable `x` is the index of where the sorted portion ends and the pile begins (the position of the `|` bar). Remember, at any given moment the beginning of the array -- from index 0 up to `x` -- is always sorted. The rest, from index `x` until the last element, is the unsorted pile.
