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

Python Data Structure: Exercise-2 with Solution

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
