Lodash _.sortedIndex() Method

The _.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: This method accept two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • array: This parameter holds the sorted array.
  • value: This parameter holds the value to evaluate.

Return Value: This method returns the index at which the value should be inserted into the array.

Example 1: Here, const _ = require(‘lodash’) is used to import the lodash library into the file.

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:

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

Example 3:

Javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash"); 
    
// Original array 
let x = ['ajax', 'django', 'mongoDb',  
       'react', 'reactnative', 'yarn']  
    
// Use of _.sortedIndex() 
// method 
let index = _.sortedIndex(x, 'ruby');
    
// Printing the output 
console.log(index);


Output:

5

Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
