Python Coding challenge - Day 468| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 Code Explanation:

1. Importing the bisect Module

import bisect

The bisect module is used for maintaining a list in sorted order without having to sort it after each insertion.

It provides functions like bisect() and insort() which help in inserting elements into a sorted list at the correct position.

2. Initializing a Sorted List

sorted_list = [1, 2, 4, 5]

The list is already sorted in ascending order.

This is a requirement when using bisect.insort() — it assumes the list is sorted.

3. Using bisect.insort() to Insert an Element

bisect.insort(sorted_list, 3)

insort() inserts the element (3) into the list while keeping it sorted.

Internally, it uses binary search to find the correct index where 3 should go.

In this case, 3 is inserted between 2 and 4.

4. Printing the Updated List

print(sorted_list)

This prints the updated list after inserting 3.

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
