Tell us what’s happening:

I am trying to implement a while loop, with all task conditions. i would think i have implemented all but can’t pass my code.

while(j >= 0 && array[j] > currValue && j--) {};

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->


/* file: styles.css */


/* file: script.js */
// User Editable Region

const insertionSort = (array) => {
  for (let i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
    const currValue = array[i];
    let j = i - 1;
  while (j >= 0 && array[j] > currValue && j--) {};
  }
}

// User Editable Region

Your loop conditions are off.
You are trying to do a Boolean && with the number j

They wanted you to decrement j inside the loop not in the condition.
