function getIndexToIns(arr, num) {

arr.sort(function(a, b){
return a - b;

@wanmi59 the type of the return statement should be an integer, not a string, so that is why the tests are failing. If you get stuck with a challenge, please first ask questions to the Help Room.

However, I do propose rewriting the instructions to be more clear:

Return the lowest index at which a value (second argument) should be inserted into an array (first argument) once it has been sorted. The returned value should be a number.

Those wanting to fix this, this line needs to be changed to:

Return the lowest index at which a value (second argument) should be inserted into an array (first argument) once it has been sorted. The returned value should be a number.
