Python Bisect: Locate the right insertion point for a specified value in sorted order


2. Right Insertion Point

Write a Python program to locate the right insertion point for a specified value in sorted order.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import bisect
def index(a, x):
    i = bisect.bisect_right(a, x)
    return i
    
a = [1,2,4,7]
print(index(a, 6))
print(index(a, 3))

Sample Output:

3
2

  • Write a Python program to use bisect_right to find the insertion point for a target value in a sorted list and then insert the target at that position.
  • Write a Python script to implement a custom bisect_right function iteratively and compare its result with Python’s bisect_right on various test cases.
  • Write a Python program to determine the rightmost insertion index for a given target in a sorted list containing duplicate values using bisect_right.
  • Write a Python function that returns the right insertion point for a target in a sorted list and demonstrates the difference between bisect_left and bisect_right.
