Abstract: A method of inserting a target element into an ordered list of elements stored at respective locations in a memory resource, and on which a binary search may be conducted, is described. The ordered list is bounded by first and second elements, and the second element is stored at a location downstream of the location at which the first element is stored. The method commences with the designation of the location at which the second element is stored as a source location within the memory resource. An element stored at the source location is then copied to a destination location in the memory resource. The destination location is downstream of the source location. Thereafter, a determination is made as to whether an element stored in a target location of the memory resource has been duplicated at a downstream location in the memory resource. If not, then a further location is designated as the source location, and the above steps are again performed.
