Python Bisect: Find the index position of the last occurrence of a given number in a sorted list using Binary Search

Python Bisect: Exercise-6 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the index position of the last occurrence of a given number in a sorted list using Binary Search (bisect).

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from bisect import bisect_right   
def BinarySearch(a, x): 
    i = bisect_right(a, x) 
    if i != len(a)+1 and a[i-1] == x: 
        return (i-1) 
    else: 
        return -1 
nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 8, 10, 12] 
x = 8
num_position   = BinarySearch(nums, x) 
if num_position == -1: 
    print("not presetn!") 
else: 
    print("Last occurrence of", x, "is present at", num_position)

Sample Output:

Last occurrence of 8 is present at 5
