pandas.api.extensions.ExtensionArray.searchsorted

ExtensionArray.searchsorted(value, side='left', sorter=None) [source]

Find indices where elements should be inserted to maintain order.

New in version 0.24.0.

Find the indices into a sorted array self (a) such that, if the corresponding elements in v were inserted before the indices, the order of self would be preserved.

Assuming that a is sorted:

`side`	returned index `i` satisfies
left	`self[i-1] < v <= self[i]`
right	`self[i-1] <= v < self[i]`

Parameters:

Parameters:	`value : array_like` Values to insert into `self`. `side : {‘left’, ‘right’}, optional` If ‘left’, the index of the first suitable location found is given. If ‘right’, return the last such index. If there is no suitable index, return either 0 or N (where N is the length of `self`). `sorter : 1-D array_like, optional` Optional array of integer indices that sort array a into ascending order. They are typically the result of argsort.
Returns:	`indices : array of ints` Array of insertion points with the same shape as `value`.

value : array_like: Values to insert into self.
side : {‘left’, ‘right’}, optional: If ‘left’, the index of the first suitable location found is given. If ‘right’, return the last such index. If there is no suitable index, return either 0 or N (where N is the length of self).
sorter : 1-D array_like, optional: Optional array of integer indices that sort array a into ascending order. They are typically the result of argsort.

Returns:

indices : array of ints: Array of insertion points with the same shape as value.
