Python Coding challenge - Day 445| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

 1. Importing the bisect module

import bisect

This imports Python’s bisect module, which is used for working with sorted lists.

It provides support for:

Finding the insertion point for a new element while maintaining sort order.

Inserting the element in the correct place.

2. Creating a sorted list

lst = [1, 3, 4]

This is your initial sorted list.

It must be sorted in ascending order for the bisect functions to work correctly.

3. Inserting 2 in order

bisect.insort(lst, 2)

insort() inserts the element 2 into the correct position to maintain the sorted order.

It does binary search behind the scenes to find the right spot (efficient).

Resulting list becomes:

lst → [1, 2, 3, 4]

4. Printing the result

print(lst)

This prints the updated list after the insertion.

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4]
