Bisect in Python is used to operate the sorting array. for example, you can insert data into an array and sort the data at the same time. The following code demonstrates how to operate: bisect in Python is used to operate the sorted array. for example, you can insert data to an array and sort the data at the same time. The following code demonstrates how to operate:
Output result:
New pos contents----------------- 14 0 [14] 85 1 [14, 85] 77 1 [14, 77, 85] 26 1 [14, 26, 77, 85] 50 2 [14, 26, 50, 77, 85] 45 2 [14, 26, 45, 50, 77, 85] 66 4 [14, 26, 45, 50, 66, 77, 85] 79 6 [14, 26, 45, 50, 66, 77, 79, 85] 10 0 [10, 14, 26, 45, 50, 66, 77, 79, 85] 3 0 [3, 10, 14, 26, 45, 50, 66, 77, 79, 85] 84 9 [3, 10, 14, 26, 45, 50, 66, 77, 79, 84, 85] 44 4 [3, 10, 14, 26, 44, 45, 50, 66, 77, 79, 84, 85] 77 9 [3, 10, 14, 26, 44, 45, 50, 66, 77, 77, 79, 84, 85] 1 0 [1, 3, 10, 14, 26, 44, 45, 50, 66, 77, 77, 79, 84, 85]
We can see that the array is sorted at the same time when these random numbers are inserted. However, there are some repeated elements, such as the above 77 and 77. You can set the sequence of these repeated elements. if you want the repeated elements to appear on the left of the same element, you can use bisect_left. Otherwise, you can use bisect_right, and use insort_left and insort_right accordingly. For example, the following code shows repeated element index changes:
import bisectimport randomrandom.seed(1)print('New pos contents')print('-----------------')l=[] for i in range(1,15): r=random.randint(1,100) position=bisect.bisect_left(l,r) bisect.insort_left(l,r) print '%3d %3d'%(r,position),l
Output result:

This function is bisect. bisect (list, key), just like the tailMap (fromkey) of TreeMap in java)
