The bisector() Function in D3.js is used to returns a new bisector using the specified accessor or comparator function. This method can be used to bisect arrays of objects instead of being limited to simple arrays of primitives.
Syntax:
d3.bisector(accessor)
d3.bisector(comparator)
Parameters: This function accepts only one parameter which is mentioned above and described below:
- accessor/comparator: This parameter is the can be accessor or comparator function.
Return value: This function returns the new bisector.
Below given are a few examples of the above function.
Example 1: This program illustrates the use of d3.bisector() using the accessor parameters.

<body>
<script>
var data = [
{date: new Date(2011, 1, 1), value: 0.5},
{date: new Date(2012, 2, 1), value: 0.6},
{date: new Date(2013, 3, 1), value: 0.7},
{date: new Date(2014, 4, 1), value: 0.8}
];
var bisectDate =
d3.bisector(function(d) { return d.date; }).left;
var dat = new Date(2014, 4, 1);
document.write(bisectDate(data, dat));
</script>
</body>
</html>

Output:

Example 2: This program illustrates the use of d3.bisector() using the comparator function parameters.

<body>
<script>
var data = [
{date: new Date(2011, 1, 1), value: 0.5},
{date: new Date(2012, 2, 1), value: 0.6},
{date: new Date(2013, 3, 1), value: 0.7},
{date: new Date(2014, 4, 1), value: 0.8}
];
var bisectDate =
d3.bisector(function(d, x) { return d.date - x; }).right;
var dat = new Date(2014, 4, 1);
document.write(bisectDate(data, dat));
</script>
</body>
