## NAME
    bisect - Bisection algorithms.

## MODULE REFERENCE
    <https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/bisect.html>

    The following documentation is automatically generated from the Python
    source files.  It may be incomplete, incorrect or include features that
    are considered implementation detail and may vary between Python
    implementations.  When in doubt, consult the module reference at the

## FUNCTIONS
    bisect = bisect_right(a, x, lo=0, hi=None, *, key=None)
        Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted.

        The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e <= x, and all e in
        a[i:] have e > x.  So if x already appears in the list, a.insert(i, x) will
        insert just after the rightmost x already there.

        Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
        slice of a to be searched.

### bisect_left
        Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted.

        The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e < x, and all e in
        a[i:] have e >= x.  So if x already appears in the list, a.insert(i, x) will
        insert just before the leftmost x already there.

        Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
        slice of a to be searched.

### bisect_right
        Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted.

        The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e <= x, and all e in
        a[i:] have e > x.  So if x already appears in the list, a.insert(i, x) will
        insert just after the rightmost x already there.

        Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
        slice of a to be searched.

    insort = insort_right(a, x, lo=0, hi=None, *, key=None)
        Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted.

        If x is already in a, insert it to the right of the rightmost x.

        Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
        slice of a to be searched.

### insort_left
        Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted.

        If x is already in a, insert it to the left of the leftmost x.

        Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
        slice of a to be searched.

### insort_right
        Insert item x in list a, and keep it sorted assuming a is sorted.

        If x is already in a, insert it to the right of the rightmost x.

        Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
        slice of a to be searched.
