Where Do I Belong - function bug

1

Console gives a type error on the line where I try to push and sort everything. I would guess that my syntax is wrong:

function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {
  // Pseudo: compare the number against the array after sorting it. find the index of the number
  
  //Pseudo2: Slice arr[0] into arr_w_everything. Assign var marker to the argument to be tracked. Push all values into new_arr and sort ascending. Get indexOf marker.
  
  var arr_w_everything = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1);
  
  var marker = arr_w_everything[1];
  
  var new_arr = [];
  
  for (i = 0; i < arr_w_everything.length; i++) { 
  new_arr.push(arr_w_everything[i]).sort(function (a, b) {
    return a - b;
  });
  }
  
  return new_arr.indexOf(marker);
}

getIndexToIns([40, 60], 50);

I cleaned up your code.
You need to use triple backticks to post code to the forum.
See this post for details.

.push doesn’t return an array, so you get that error
