Lodash _.sortedIndex() method is used to return the lowest index of the array where an element can be inserted and maintain its sorted order. It uses the binary search.
Syntax:_.sortedIndex(array, value);Parameters:
Example 1: In this example, we are getting the index number of the given value at which we can insert that value into the given array.
JavaScript
// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");
// Original array
let x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6]
// Use of _.sortedIndex()
// method
let index = _.sortedIndex(x, 4);
// Printing the output
console.log(index);
Output:
3
Example 2: In this example, we are getting the index number of the given value at which we can insert that value into the given array.
JavaScript
// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");
// Original array
let x = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'e', 'e', 'f']
// Use of _.sortedIndex()
// method
let index = _.sortedIndex(x, 'e');
// Printing the output
console.log(index);
Output:
4
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
