Getting an infinite loop for simple function

JavaScript
1

function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
// Find my place in this sorted array.
arr.sort(function(a,b){
return a-b;
});

for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
if(num < arr[i]){
arr.splice(i,0,num);
}
}
return arr;
}

getIndexToIns([40, 80 ,60], 50);

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into the forum, remember to precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.

Hi, i’ve changed the post. This is Basic Algorithm scripting challenge"Where do I Belong?". But i modified the code to return the array rather than index and it’s giving an infinite loop at if condition.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for helping me. I missed the part that array length is increasing.

Yup the length has to increase or the script will loop forever (well until it’s terminated by closing the tab executing the javascript).
