bisect API Reference

Full documentation for bisect (Standard Library / Native)

bisect.bisect
Python Library Documentation: built-in function bisect_right in module _bisect

bisect_right(a, x, lo=0, hi=None, *, key=None)
    Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted.

    The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e <= x, and all e in
    a[i:] have e > x.  So if x already appears in the list, a.insert(i, x) will
    insert just after the rightmost x already there.

    Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
    slice of a to be searched.

    A custom key function can be supplied to customize the sort order.
bisect.bisect_left
Python Library Documentation: built-in function bisect_left in module _bisect

bisect_left(a, x, lo=0, hi=None, *, key=None)
    Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted.

    The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e < x, and all e in
    a[i:] have e >= x.  So if x already appears in the list, a.insert(i, x) will
    insert just before the leftmost x already there.

    Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
    slice of a to be searched.

    A custom key function can be supplied to customize the sort order.

bisect.insort
Python Library Documentation: built-in function insort_right in module _bisect

insort_right(a, x, lo=0, hi=None, *, key=None)
    Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted.

    If x is already in a, insert it to the right of the rightmost x.

    Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
    slice of a to be searched.

    A custom key function can be supplied to customize the sort order.
