Your code so far

  // Find my place in this sorted array.
 var a= arr.sort();

  return a;
}

getIndexToIns([7, 3, 20, 3], 5);

I think you need a compare function https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_sort.asp

It’s a little more involved than just sorting the given array. You have to first get num into the array, then sort it, then find the index of where num ended up in the sorted array. Which does include needing a compare function like @JohnnyBizzel mentioned.
