Tell us what’s happening:
I’m creating a function that sorts the array parameter and inserts the number parameter in the position that would put it in numerical order. There’s a problem with my use of the sort() method but I’m not sure why.
Your code so far
function getIndexToIns(arr, num)
{
// Find my place in this sorted array.
arr = arr.sort();
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++)
{
if(num < arr[0])
{
return 0;
}
if(num > arr[i] && num < arr[i + 1])
{
return i + 1;
}
else if(num === arr[i])
{
return i;
}
}
return arr.length;
}
getIndexToIns([5, 3, 20, 3], 5);
