I'm trying to figure out how to use bisect in a list of tuples for example
[(3, 1), (2, 2), (5, 6)]
How can I bisect this list according to the [1] in each tuple?
list_dict [(69, 8), (70, 8), ((65, 67), 6)]
tup1,tup2 (69, 8) (70, 8)
list_dict [((65, 67), 6)]
fst, snd ((65, 67),) (6,)
And I'm inserting to bisect
idx = bisect.bisect(fst, tup1[1]+tup2[1])
Which gives me unorderable types: int() < tuple()
The purpose of Bisect algorithm is to find a position in list where an element needs to be inserted to keep the list sorted. Python in its definition provides the bisect algorithms using the module “bisect” which allows to keep the list in sorted order after the insertion of each element.
The bisect module in Python assists in preserving a list in a sorted order, as it bypasses the sort operation after each insertion. Insort is one of the functions of the bisect module.
The bisect_left() method is provided by the bisect module, which returns the left-most index to insert the given element, while maintaining the sorted order.
In some cases just the simple
bisect(list_of_tuples, (3, None))
will be enough.
Because None
will compare less than any integer, this will give you the index of the first tuple starting with at least 3, or len(list_of_tuples)
if all of them are smaller than 3. Note that list_of_tuples
is sorted.
