Tell us what’s happening:
SOS, please help me it keeps saying the getMedian function should use sorted array but i have tried everything, the code works, passed the test but i can not continue, already tried logging in safari, opera gx , microsoft edge and nothing. turned off dark mode, tried even in incognito mode. I am getting crazy here.
Your code so far
