        sortedArr.push(x)
    else {
        if (sortedArr[0] > x) sortedArr.unshift(x)
        else if (sortedArr[sortedArr.length - 1] < x) sortedArr.push(x)
        else sortedArr.splice(sortedArr.filter(y => y < x).length, 0, x)
    }
})
console.log(sortedArr);


// using sort method
console.log(arr.sort((a,b)=>{
    return a-b;
}));
