How to find in what range is the number?

There is an ordered list:
l = [100, 200, 300, 400, ,500]
The function gets the number of a.
You need to establish what range is the number and assign a y value.
if a <= 100:
 y = 0
elif a <= 200:
 y = 1
elif a <= 300:
 y = 2
elif a <= 400:
 y = 3
else:
 y = 4


How can you not do such a clumsy way through the conditions? using a function that will find the list range and assign a value.

Solution
My version. A list of built-in function, the input received is strictly "a". Everything will be more Penultimate element written in the last group, even if greater than the last element.

def group_place(a):
 l = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500]
 for i in range(0, len(l)):
 if a <= l[i]: break
 return i

Solution
For short lists it can be easy to get around all the elements.

def get_group(value, sorted_list):
 for i breakpoint in enumerate(sorted_list):
 if value < breakpoint:
 return i
 # a value greater than the last in the list
 return len(sorted_list)


l = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500]
print(get_group(215, l))


For very long list is a preliminary build list binary tree to reduce the number of inspections.

A binary search of the standard library.
import bisect
print(bisect.bisect_left(l, a))

def r(a, l):
 b = 0
 for i, d in enumerate(l):
 if a > d:
 b = i + 1
 return b

you can try:
l = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500]
x = 288
print(min([ind for ind, i in enumerate(l) if i > x]))
