pandas.arrays.DatetimeArray.searchsorted

DatetimeArray.searchsorted(value, side='left', sorter=None)

Find indices where elements should be inserted to maintain order.

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

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 self into ascending order. They are typically the result of np.argsort.

Returns:

indices : array of ints

Array of insertion points with the same shape as value.
