I was doing insertion sort and I was facing a problem, in the below code I used the 'lt' instead of '<' in for loop So I did not get the output properly, in this array first two elements 8 and 5 getting swapped and the for loop not proceed further When I used the '<' symbol in for its working fine but my question is for while loop this 'gt' working fine why not for?

 use Data::Dumper;

my ($i,$n,$j,@a,$temp);

@a=(8,5,2,4,88,1,5,4,3,2);

$n=10;

for ($i=1; $i lt $n; $i++){

#   print $i;

    $j=$i;
    $temp=$a[$j];
    while ($j gt 0 and $a[$j-1] gt $temp)
    {
        $a[$j]=$a[$j-1];
        $j--;
    }
    $a[$j]=$temp;
}

print Dumper(\@a);
