Python has many built-in modules that can help you use todo such things specific for integer data types and values. One of them is bisect for using array searching of the kind binary algo. Is there any other function in it for a specifics? It can helps you easily find the tragedies as binary searches into an array without hassle. If you have to maintain an array sorted order without losing it, you need to find something. something you can read more about this one at Python Official Documentation.
E.g.
import bisect
# Initialize a sorted list
sorted_list = [1, 3, 4, 7, 9]
# Use bisect_left to find the position where 5 should be inserted
position = bisect.bisect_left(sorted_list, 5)
print(f"Insertion point for 5 using bisect_left: {position}") # Output: 3
# Use bisect_right to find the position where 5 should be inserted
position = bisect.bisect_right(sorted_list, 5)
print(f"Insertion point for 5 using bisect_right: {position}") # Output: 3
# Insert 5 into the list using insort_left
bisect.insort_left(sorted_list, 5)
print(f"List after inserting 5 using insort_left: {sorted_list}") # Output: [1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9]
# Insert 6 into the list using insort_right
bisect.insort_right(sorted_list, 6)
print(f"List after inserting 6 using insort_right: {sorted_list}") # Output: [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9]
Here is a is our array and key is the target the we wanted to find in this array and the parameter lo and hi is parameter for searching into specific subset
To preserve the sorted order of a list, one can use the bisect.bisect_left method to determine where a given value should be placed. Bisect_left returns the index of the first instance of the given item in the list if it already exists.
Example:
import bisect
# Given list with mixed elements, including a nested list
mixed_list = [1, 2, 4, 8, [1, 5, 6], 4, 8, 9]
# Target value to insert
target = 4
# Use bisect_left with lo and hi parameters to search within the specific range
lo = 1 # Start from index 1
hi = 5 # End before index 5 (exclusive), hence not including the nested list
# Find the insertion point
index = bisect.bisect_left(mixed_list, target, lo, hi)
print(f"The value {target} should be inserted at index {index}.")
And For right subset part is the same way more you can read at Python Official Docs
