Return the lowest index at which a value (second argument) should be inserted into an array (first argument) once it has been sorted. The returned value should be a number.
For example, getIndexToIns([1,2,3,4], 1.5) should return 1 because it is greater than 1 (index 0), but less than 2 (index 1).
Likewise, getIndexToIns([20,3,5], 19) should return 2 because once the array has been sorted it will look like [3,5,20] and 19 is less than 20 (index 2) and greater than 5 (index 1).
function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
// Extract the num
num = Array.from(arguments).slice(1);
// store extracted value in targetNum
var targetNum = num[0];
// push targetNum into array
arr.push(targetNum);
// console.log(targetNum);
//the compare function can simply subtract b from a.
//The following function will sort the array ascending
//(if it doesn't contain Infinity and NaN):
function compareNumbers(a, b) {
return a - b;
}
// store the ascending sorted array
arr = arr.sort(compareNumbers);
// loop thru it
for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
if(targetNum <= arr[i]) {
return i;
}
}
}
getIndexToIns([40, 60], 50);
getIndexToIns([5, 3, 20, 3], 5); // should return 2
