Returning arr.length

JavaScript
1

Towards the end of the code, i don’t understand why arr.length is being returned

  **Your code so far**

function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
arr.sort((a, b)=> a-b);
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
  if (arr[i]>= num){
    return i
  }
}
return arr.length
}

getIndexToIns([40, 60], 50);

Because if the value is larger than any of the other values, the index to insert is after the last item.

4

is that not why i is returned inside the if statement?

5

will i ever have the value of arr.length in the body of the loop?

6

If you are remove the return arr.length line and run the function with a value larger than any in the array, what is the result?
