59The <tt class="function">bisect()</tt> function is generally useful for categorizing
60numeric data. This example uses <tt class="function">bisect()</tt> to look up a
61letter grade for an exam total (say) based on a set of ordered numeric
62breakpoints: 85 and up is an `A', 75..84 is a `B', etc.
