pandas.Series.searchsorted

Find indices where elements should be inserted to maintain order.

Find the indices into a sorted Series self such that, if the corresponding elements in value were inserted before the indices, the order of self would be preserved.

param value

array_like

Values to insert into self.

param 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).

param sorter

1-D array_like, optional

Optional array of integer indices that sort self into ascending order. They are typically the result of np.argsort.

return

int or array of int A scalar or array of insertion points with the same shape as value.

Changed in version 0.24.0.

Previously, scalar inputs returned an 1-item array for Series and Categorical.
