a third way maybe using a SkipList instead of a list

if you're doing repeated insertions into an already sorted list, there's
no question that the bisect module is the right way to do it

Finding the position to insert is O(log n), but t

Check out the bisect module.

There are basically two ways to go about this.
One is, to append the new value, and then sort the list.
Another is to traverse the list, and insert the new value at the
appropriate position.
The second one's complexity is O(N), while the first one's is O(N *
log N).
Still, the second one works mu
