Help with java insertion sort program

Show key headers only | View raw

Hello I trying write a sorting program that will ask a user what type of 
sorting method to use (insertion, bubble, selection) and then ask them 
to enter integers to sort.

I thought I had everything correct but apparantly not.  Haha.  This is 
the output and I am not sure where I am going wrong.

Before Sorting:
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

After Sorting:
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]


Do I seem to be putting things in the correct spot?

Thanks for any help!!

DriverSort class...

     import java.util.Scanner;

     public class DriverSort {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		Scanner scan =new Scanner(System.in);
		Sorter sorter = new Sorter();

	    int choice;  // variable which says which sorting algorithm to use
         		
		System.out.println("1-Insertion sort\n"
						+"2-Selection sort\n"
						+ "3-Bubble sort\n"
						+ "0-quit\n");
		choice = scan.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("Please enter the number for a sorting method or 
enter 0 to quit: ");
		int size = scan.nextInt();
		int input[] = new int[size];
		
		
	    System.out.println("\nBefore Sorting: ");
	    sorter.printArray(input);
             // sort the array
             Sorter.insertionSort(input);
             System.out.println("\nAfter Sorting: ");
             sorter.printArray(input);
		
		switch (choice) {
		
		case 0:
			System.out.println("Goodbye!");
			System.exit(0);
			break;
			
		case 1: Sorter.insertionSort(input);
         	sorter.printArray(input);
         	break;

         }
       }
    }

Sorter class....


     public class Sorter {
	
	public static int[] insertionSort(int[] input) {
		
		for (int i = 1; i < input.length; i++) {
             int valueToSort = input[i];
             int j = i;
             while (j > 0 && input[j - 1] > valueToSort) {
                 input[j] = input[j - 1];
                 j--;
             }//end while loop.
             // insert the element
             input[j] = valueToSort;
		}//end for loop
             return input;
	}//end insertionSort		

					
		public void printArray(int[] input) {
		    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(input));
			
		}
	}
